Michael Kors How does the saffaino leather hold up?

[AuntJulie]

My gray Selma has held up well however the top of the bag is wiggly and no longer straight which bugs me.

I love, love, love the saffiano leather! Be sure and get the spray coating for it though to avoid color transfer!

Is this spray coating an item that MK sells in stores, or is it an after market product?

It's what they sell in the stores. However others on the site have told me not to use it, so I haven't.

I have the jet set tote in Medium black saffiano and I love it but I wear it so much I find that it has lost its structure, I was looking to get a new one and I only see on the web sights the medium comes with the compartments in the middle, does anyone know if the compartments will help hold its shape?

Saffiano is really durable and it's not easily stained

I have been using the the large Electronic multifunction Wallet in Pink since Christmas daily and looks brand new. I like the Saffiano leather.

It's very sturdy and durable but could get very heavy some how but really like the saffiano leather.

Do you think it's because of the top handles or the shoulder strap? I'm wondering which one causes the wiggly top, I've also seen this on eBay. I considered purchasing the medium Selma (I'd only be using the top handles) but held back because of that.

That would bug me too! I have been looking at selma myself. I bought a different bag since I started the thread, but I am back looking at them again.

durable, water resistant, could take up those scratches or abuse but its really heavy aft loaded up all my stuff

 

[dcooney4]

My solution to the bigger ones being heavy was to buy a small. Bloomies friends and family gave me the extra incentive. Just love this bag. I put a large purse perfector organizer in it and it is now so organized and easy to use. Thanks for all your help!

Can someon explain what the saffiano leather is? Is it cut from a better cow or something, or is it a treatment process.. I have no idea. It looks kind of hard and plasticy if I'm honest. It doesn't have a soft supple feel at all like most high end leathers.

I think it's from the handles. The first month I never used the strap at all.

I'm really loving this little tote. The strap drop is not to short and it sits up so nicely with no slouching.

It's the treatment process. I believe saffiano leather was developed by Prada. It is scratch, water, and stain resistant. I've noticed with some of the pebbled leather MK bags that they start to look very worn once they've been used for a while due to normal weather-related wear and tear. Saffiano leather is almost indestructible and thus very low maintenance. I love it.
