Saffiano vs. Cross grain

While I agree a beautiful soft leather might be more special, Prada is well know for their saffiano bags and they are certainly a luxury brand (even tho some may think their quality isn't what it used to be)


Yes a few high end brands use them, ferragamo as well. But they don't choose very high quality leathers for it.
 
Surprisingly I think coach's saffiano is much nicer feeling than some of the premier stuff I've encountered. I had a saff Ferragamo that was extremely stiff and plasticky.
that's surprising, esp considering the huge price gap
but someone on the Prada subforum (who had a very large collection of Prada bags) posted that she was disillusioned with Prada quality and she now prefers Ralph Lauren (the lower level) bags

just goes to show I guess we need to shop carefully and not just assume high price equals high quality
 
Hi Ladies!:smile1:

Could you please confirm if my below understanding are correct.

Coach Madison Mini North/South Saffiano Leather Tote #29001 has thicker saffiano leather compared to Madison East/West Tote Saffiano Leather #29002 (specifically color black). In such case, #29001 has thicker and stiff leather that can stand on its own, unlike #29002 that has thinner saffiano. It is thinner, light weight and if empty may fold and loose its shape (but not as soft as fabric). By looking at the pictures, it also seems to me that the difference in the thickness of saffiano between the two bags is obviously visible upon first glance of the two bags. Am I right on this? Nevertheless, both are of good quality.

I am also checking at Madison Christie Carryall Satchel Saffiano Leather Purse #29422. I think it has the same thickness of the Coach Madison Mini North/South Saffiano Leather Tote #29001. Please confirm.

Lastly, if I will purchase coach bags in the Coach Factory at Citygate Hong Kong, will it come with a dust bag? or none at all because it is on sale?
Many thanks.
