Leather Lined Bags??

[indiaink]

The problem is most are now made in China. Therefor cheaper materials are used for linings to keep prices down.

I guess you'd have to specify what you mean by 'most are now made in China'. Bottega Veneta crafts their bags in Italy.

Amazona bags from Loewe are all lined with leather. I've seen and touch them in the store. They're to die for! Not to mention they're still cheaper compared to other leather lined bags.

That is what I mean by Most. Not all are but many are made in China now days.

Some Valentinos are lined in leather.

What do you have against natural lined bags? Like older coach. Natural lined bags go through an expensive process of making it smooth. Inside of leather is not naturally smooth. The process of making the inside smooth is sometimes as costly as some lining. Plus it is easier to clean and does weigh the bag down with extra material. Plus doesn't have that I between area where mold likes to grow. Any other ideas?

i have an MJ with leather lining. to be honest i prefer the not leather lined bags...leather lined makes them that much heavier!!!!

All of my bags* are lined with the softest pigskin suede. They are easy to keep clean. The use of a suede brush and/or shaking out the lining removes any detritus.

*All Bottega Veneta.

Good to know. I saw some Mui the had the same lining and thy were very nice!

I'm pretty sure that only 3 of my bags are leather lined: Prada with baby smooth leather, BV with lush suede + Celine also finished in leather.

The interior lining does not affect my handbag buying decision much overall but I know it affects price.

I've had a handmade purse from Mexico by a leathersmith that was custom made for me and if sealed properly the wear on the inside is the same as fabric except with expensive leather cleaner stains come out better. Only buy organic and recommended.

Designer bags are not. Most are made in Italy, some France or Spain. Only contemporary bags are made in China.

Classic saint laurent sac de jours and a few other saint Laurene's, the new ferragamo Sophia's, Celine belts, phantoms and luggages are lined in suede. The suede does make the bags quite heavy.

I respectfully disagree. There are threads on the forum regarding LV and Prada. Much discussion that's taken place about both of them being made in China at times. (not always, but it has and does happen.)

Tiffany & Co. has leather lined bags. I have the Metropolitan crossbody in Tiffany blue and I love it!!!

The current generation Ferragamo Sofia's are and some other bags in that brand too. Michael Kors collection bags have finished suede.
