Empreinte is not bonded. It's a thinner grained calfskin than the taurillon used for for Vuitton's Capucines, but still full leather. I can't remember but one was younger calf than the other.

You could have had a reaction to the chemicals used. The following list is an excerpt from Allergic Contact Dermatitis: Topical Preservatives Part 1 (http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/725087_2)
  • "Wood composites (including plywood and particle board), asphalt shingles, bonded leather, fertilizers, insulation, flooring materials, and leather tanning agents."
I believe EU manufactured goods are required by regulations to state the materials used.

"The EU has aligned laws in all member countries with Textile Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 on fibre names and related labelling and marking of the fibre composition of textile products. This was done to protect consumer interests and eliminate potential obstacles to the proper functioning of the internal market.

What’s in the Regulation?
The main elements are*:
  • general obligation to state the full fibre composition of textile products;
  • minimum technical requirements for applications for a new fibre name;
  • requirement to indicate the presence of non-textile parts of animal origin;
  • exemption applicable to customised products made by self-employed tailors;
  • Empowerment of the European Commission to adopt delegated acts amending the technical Annexes of the Regulation, in line with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union;
  • Reporting on the implementation, review clause, and study on hazardous substances to be undertaken by the Commission.
*This explanatory text is not legally binding and does not express the official position of the European Commission.

Scope of Regulation 1007/2011
According to the Regulation, textile products have to be labelled or marked whenever they are available on the market.

The indication of the fibre composition of a product is mandatory at all stages of the industrial processing and commercial distribution of that product.

All products containing at least 80% by weight of textile fibres, including raw, semi-worked, worked, semi-manufactured, semi-made, and made-up products are covered by the Regulation.

The Regulation does not cover size, country of origin, or wash/care labelling."

Can I ask if the bonded bag being referred to is the new Noe' coming out? Where is it going to have bonded leather? I texted with my SA today and she didn't know about any part of the bag having bonded leather. She said the straps are full leather and the interior will be microfiber.

I actually can't find any reference where the Noé Bonded is described as having bonded leather. Noé Bonded PM is the full name of the model. There are only pictures from previews and shots from the lookbook. It seems to be inferred from the name. The leather from what I've seen in pictures looks like the leather details on the Tuileries line but without the bolder black edging.

Ahhh, thank you so much One More Day! It's in the name, now it makes sense. My SA swears she has no knowledge of any bonded leather in this bag. It comes out in March so I guess I'll find out then. I'm attracted by the simple and sporty looks of this bag although I don't usually like the mono canvas for me. I like my bags to be a little more subtle. Thanks again for the clarification!
