I’ve had and heavily used a Madewell bag for 6 years. It’s holding up well and the leather has only gotten softer and better with age. I conditioned it recently and it’s looking great!
You better buy another Madewell for your wife Tanner!!! 😂😂😂 Thank you for the review, I personally don't have anything from the brand but have a friend that loves their bags 😅
That's fantastic to hear! There's nothing quite like the sensory experience of high-quality leather, and those bags are sure to serve you well for years to come. 👜✨
@@tanner.leatherstein I do like MadeWell denim. Their jeans appear well constructed and the denim is substantial. Will have to peruse the MadeWell leather bags now that I’ve seen your deconstruction work. Thank you for what you do.
I enjoy watching your channel and making us educated consumers. (Btw, my husband refers to you as “the ripper.” Hahaha.) Looking forward to more of your videos.
I just ordered this bag - the larger one because of your review. Bags that age well and acquire a beautiful patina are one of life’s simple joys. Looking forward to using it, and sniffing the leather. 😉
Madewell is generally a good quality company. Thank you for this. I too love good leather. I didn’t know Madewell had their own leather handbags. I will get one before the holidays.
I've been waiting for this breakdown!!! I have 2 Madewell bags. Though I've noticed some inconsistent stitching on one of the bags, the leather is so supple and just feels like it'll age super well. I'm so pleased that it's got your stamp of approval.
Thank you so much, I appreciate watching your videos and that you educate us about the handbag industry. Growing up my father used to sell handbags wholesale here in Canada and they were made here at that time. It’s very interesting to me to learn about how the industry has changed since then. Which was about 50 years ago. I look forward to watching and learning on your channel. Take care and have a beautiful day.
I too have a madewell bag that I have had for years. Although it does patina quickly it just adds to the beauty. A far superior bag by far! I understand your wife’s unwillingness to part with that little beauty, Thank you for these informative and non bias opinions..
Madewell is the one company I almost never go in however when I do I am always surprised at the quality of goods. Last Christmas I found a wool knitted jumper that was lovely and was on sale marked down in clearance to $20 and I had a $15 off coupon so I spent $5 on it and it was cold so I just wore it out of the store! It is one of my favourite ever. I also have purchased a really elegant silver triple necklace for $28 and it has held up well to years of wear.
Oh your poor wife! I never thought of her before but she has had to watch you destroy so many bags! If you were my husband some of the luxury bags you've destroyed would have mysteriously disappeared overnight before they could be cut-up. I'd have sworn kind gremlins took the bag.
The piazza leather is beautiful and soft, however the same cannot be said for ALL of madewell's leather products, mainly their very popular transport tote line. The leather used for the transport tote has a heavy finish on it, giving it a plasticky feel, almost feels like PU leather, which I don't care for.
I just bought two madewell piazza crossbody’s and I noticed the leather looks, feels, and smells exactly like my coach 1941 shuffle in nappa lambskin (also made in India) so do India tanneries give the leather a certain scent or is the piazza also made of nappa lambskin?? I did not hear u mention this piazza is made of lambskin and nowhere on the madewell website does it say nappa/lambskin so im very curious now!! Love ur videos and I look forward to watching them everytime u post!!
Tanner I love you channel! I just picked up a Restoration Hardware Maxwell leather sofa in Italian Brompton Cocoa. It was $11k and I’m curious if this brand named sofa is worth it? It’s the dream sofa of many people.
Can you do a bit more in depth leather education video? Here you said exquisite leather for $15 and meh leather on luxury brands for more in other videos, so it's confusing. Same for cost of construction, what's simple vs high quality construction?
Love the fact that you buy the bags yourself and are not biased in the slightest. Thank you
I have a Madewell tote I got in 2014 and it’s aged so beautifully.
I’ve had mine for less time, but it aging well too. Bought another ❤

Ran out and bought two bags because of this video! You weren’t lying! The smell and touch was amazing!
That's fantastic to hear! There's nothing quite like the sensory experience of high-quality leather, and those bags are sure to serve you well for years to come. 👜✨
Funny to watch your wife hanging on to the MadeWell bag😂
@@tanner.leatherstein I do like MadeWell denim. Their jeans appear well constructed and the denim is substantial. Will have to peruse the MadeWell leather bags now that I’ve seen your deconstruction work. Thank you for what you do.
Are you able to put it back together for your wife? 😂❤
I enjoy watching your channel and making us educated consumers. (Btw, my husband refers to you as “the ripper.” Hahaha.) Looking forward to more of your videos.
Omg I have three of these in different colors and paid $49-79 each. Who knew that was basically at cost. Makes me want to buy more!
Got my first Madewell bag. The leather touch and smell is amazing!! Thanks Tanner for doing this video.
I have been waiting for you to review Madewell. I own several madewell bags and they are some of my favorite! Love your content!

I got my first madewell bag 12 years ago and my bag is still beautiful and aging nicely. I love their leather bags so much.

Now I have to look for their leather goods. I love their clothing line as well. Thanks for the vids!
Fascinating as always! I'm headed to the Madewell website. 🌻
One day, I hope to have a passion for something like you do for leather! Your channel is fascinating 😊
This video made me want one, and lucky for me its on sale until 12/12 at 50% off. Thank you for making this video!

Always love your videos! hopefully you can do coccinelle next!
I have that bag in dark green and the larger one in that color!
Hope you can do a review on A.P.C. bags too. More power to you!
Please do the AllSaints Dalby Leather jacket next!
The bag is on sale right now for $95.00! They also have a larger crossbody in that style on sale.

This was so interesting and valuable! Thank you.
You really like those tiny bags. Do you ever dissect larger tote bags?
I love this video! and always knew made well had great leather quality. Can you do Celine next? specifically the Ava bag?
I love my madewell tote! I’ve had it for almost 8 years and it’s held up beautifully.
A very informative video! Thanks a lot!
Could you also make a video in the Future about the brand Kazar?
@@tanner.leatherstein Thanks a lot for your reply! Keep going with your amazing video about leather qualities!
I was wondering. Their leather always looks so beautiful
I’d love to see a video about the regular most common Madewell leather
I saw this purse yesterday and you’re right, it’s a great find! I even smelled it 😂

Love your blogs and so I ending up buying this bag and love it but what brand of protectant will I buy to protect this bag . Thank you
Tanner could you consider doing one on Ralph Lauren? Thank you!
I fell in love right away w this bag too!

How do you treat water stain on leather?
Your lovely video definitely need a Hermes exotic handbag 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Can you dissect a Chinese brand Tianqingji . They claim it’s hand made and good quality, I bought one for ca 800 dollars . Great channel btw😊
What’s a good leather protector brand? Thanks!
Your knowledge of leather has continued to real leather goods👜
Do you fix customers bags? I would love to replace leather on my LV bag.
Tanner I love you channel! I just picked up a Restoration Hardware Maxwell leather sofa in Italian Brompton Cocoa. It was $11k and I’m curious if this brand named sofa is worth it? It’s the dream sofa of many people.
Could you use mink old to protect it?
Could you please check out Paradise Row nags from the UK
Must visit a Madewell store🤩🙏🏿☺️
This bag is on sale right now…half off I bought two.
Definitely a great deal you got there!
can you check Coronado Leather?
i just bought a black one before I found this video! Glad that you like it and you better buy a new one for your wife lol
Do leather bags HAVE to have a scent to be considered "good quality"?
Can you do a bit more in depth leather education video? Here you said exquisite leather for $15 and meh leather on luxury brands for more in other videos, so it's confusing. Same for cost of construction, what's simple vs high quality construction?
have you heard of chylak? they are polish :)
She used it with the price tag on?
I really want this bag in an oversized tote! Hint hint
That bag is on sale for 95- now on Madewell
Your luxury handbag collection cut to pieces must be driving your wife mad
The irony of India producing calfskin leather 😂. Hopping on to madewell now!
I don’t buy any brands without checking in here first now 😂
It was painful watching you tear that bag apart.
let me run out here and buy it
Madewell does have nice leather but they get extremely dirty.
Now time to buy her another one😂
I just hope you buy one for your wife. I feel bad that you took it away from her!😢😂
This bag is on sale for $66.85 with code winter30. Maybe get one for your wife😊
I have this bag, and if I was your wife, I would have fought you tooth and nail for this bag. Nope.
asking indians to made cow leather products… this is lit
Sad that you destroy something of worth in terms of being able to be used. Do you put these bags back together after? Throw away culture…
