Hello! I saw this bag in the Michael Kors Instagram feed. It's so beautiful! But I can't find it on the Michael Kors website. Can anyone tell me its name? Thanks in advance. View attachment 3006000

Its called the LEA satchel. I saw this in the MK boutique in navy and luggage. It scratches REALLY easily. The display looked terrible so the sa brought out several from the back in the plastic. Just handling them caused scratches and marks. The leather is similar to the hamilton traveler leather which also needs to be "babied". Its a really soft leather. I wanted something in navy and ended up getting a navy blue pebbled leather Camden. I Hope that helps.

Thank you, Baglady! It does help a lot. I think it's a beautiful bag, but I don't want a bag that needs to be babied. I appreciate the insight. Have a great weekend!

It is! I said I don't want a bag I have to baby, yet I am thinking about it all the time. I think it's love.

I have a couple bags I have to baby, but you know what, they're so worth it. I say buy it, and if you notice it scratches randomly, I say use the warranty. In a years time you'll definitely notice if it's "regular wear and tear". Take the chance 😊

Hey guys, I was wondering if you can identify this bag?
I feel like I might be underpricing it :/
Any idea how much it should go for?
Thanks!

It's a Beverly Clutch. NWT go for around $100 on eBay. Not sure what yours would go for since it's patent leather? Look around eBay, you should get a good idea of how to price yours.

Well, Melbo, I finally got my hands on a saffiano bag that I bought to resell and here is what I have to say...YUCK!! lol!! I HATE it!! That is NOT leather! You know what my first impression was to the touch?? RUBBER! It feels just like rubber. I even tried to bounce it on the floor and it bounced! lol!

I can see why it is very durable, I will give it that, but no thanks! I am so glad I got to check it out before I ordered one for myself. Not for me and I had a feeling. Did you ever notice how none of the bags in their higher end MICHAEL Kors line, are made of saffiano? Even the Miranda and the Casey are genuine leather. I personally believe we all being duked ( screwed) because I am sure that it is cut or chopped with some kind of plastic like material that is mixed in the leather and they are just not letting on, charging as if it's real leather and everyone is falling for it.

I have read many articles about this and many others including my leather crafter friends, believe the same thing. I showed it to my biker friends and they were all laughing and making fun of me! lol! But they do that every chance they get , anyway. lol! Anyhow, the bottom line is, there will be no saffiano bags in my future. Not even if it is a gift, I would sell it. I don't even want to try to get used to it. I don't understand how so many prefer it to genuine leather, when there is really no comparison.
I want to add that I have felt this material long ago on cheap purses from Walmart and Target. This stuff is nothing new and has been around a very long time.

Saffiano leather is "real" leather. It has been stamped with a cross-hatch pattern and coated with a rain/stain type of repellent. I don't think it has any plastic in it, but it does feel coated/waxy to the touch. I understand why you wouldn't like it if you love soft leather. Lots of people feel that way. But lots of others really love it, too. :smile1:

Turns out I already own a make up case in this same material that I have had for years. It is pretty messed up with dark stains on it that won't come out. I suppose I could try washing it and see what happens, because I really don't care about it, but would like to see what happens. I bought it at Target. It is very sturdy, I will give it that, but no thanks. It is no comparison to genuine leather and I have read the process of how it is stamped. yadda. yadda, but I think they are leaving something out. That is not leather, as we all know and love. I smell a rat and think we are getting tricked. lol!

Let us know how it goes with the makeup case. You're supposed to be able to clean and condition saffiano leather just like any other leather. Good luck! :smile1:
