Hi,
In my experience at a store, it seemed the leather on Jackson Street Quincy Hobo (just labeled 'pebbled leather') seemed to have significantly softer leather than the new Margaux satchel (called "refined grain" leather). KS support told me refined grain is softer than their "crossgrain" leather which is supposed to be softer than saffiano yet sturdier. However, it's still less soft than refined grain.
Given all that, I feel like all of the new leather products from KS (apart from Nicola stuff) would be too rough for me.
Anyone have any comments on the feel of these different types of leather, and leather quality of the new KS stuff? I wish they'd use the leather for Nicola items on others too.
