I'm guessing lamb skin. If you encounter a Day Luxe Tote, feel the interior lining. It's amazing.
Oh wow, sorry for this off-topic but where were you? I see a nice panorama on the back!
I see... I've checked their website and their models. I should take inspiration to them when I'll design the bag for my girlfriend!!
Even though, I must say, design-wise I like simple and minimal bags.. I've seen Celine and YSL designs are more in line with my tastes but... I'm a man LOL
I think it depends on your definition of "soft".
If you mean to the touch, I'd say Chanel's vintage lambskin is like a silk and Celine's supple calfskin used on the Phanton bag around 2012 is a leather that once you touch, you want to keep touching it because it's like butter!
On the soft, as in pliable and delicious to wear, that doesn't feel like a bag, but more like a soft and luxurious leather made for garments not a bag, you can't beat the Valentino Rockstud totes. I'm not sure what type of leather it is vs. the thicker leather one, but it's by far the most confortable bag I own. I feel like I'm not carrying anything.
Hope this helps!

OK, now you have me eyeing her shop. I want one of her bags so much! What lovely work!
Also, the softest leather bag I own is a Botkier Logan tote. I believe they call the leather "Italian bubble leather," but I'm not sure on that.
The softest leather I have felt was on those (pictured) Loewe Flamenco drawstring bags. I went in the store on a whim, planning to check out the puzzle bags when my eye gravitated towards these. When I felt them, they FELT LIKE BUTTER. I have never ever felt anything like it.
I'm not a leather expert so I have no clue what type they were but they were amazing to touch.
I didn't even want to carry them for long. I was 100% sure that one wrong move with my long fingernails and I would ruin them.
I didn't buy because of how they felt they needed to be babied but yeah, these are the softest leather I have ever felt.
I'm attaching photos of celebs carrying that bag. It's truly a gorgeous bag. So supple and luxurious.. On my last trip to Taipei a few months ago, I told my good friend to buy it and she got a gorgeous purple one. (She was looking to buy a good, understated bag).
The old version has tassles for drawstrings; the current version (that I personally saw; and that my friend bought) has a knot drawstring.
