Fair game indeed! Thank you, Tanner. The seller should of course correctly label the leather too. Some listings write the bag is made of “top grain, full grain, real leather and genuine leather” 😂😂😂
So true, its confusing. I was eyeing this bag in different colors, the beige color was labelled as cowhide and black color was labelled genuine leather..i cant find any info either on the exact type of leather they use
@@aslprobro exactly! I’ve been on Etsy since watching Tanner, looking for artisan products, feeling empowered with my new found knowledge… but, wait… not so fast ✋ 😂
Years ago, I bought a wallet after looking for a handmade wallet from a solid maker. I recently discovered your work, and was so excited to learn more about leather and quality products, so I checked out your store. And lo and behold, it's Pegai! The same company i bought my wallet from. I've had my wallet for over 5 years now, it's holding up great with a nice patina. My only complaint? I'm in Canada, and the wallet is a little short for our "tall" money. Would love to have a Canada size option! Congrats on your channel and business
Do you have a video that talks about saffiano leather? I understand that a lot of name brands are using this technique leather. Would you consider it good leather or just basic? Thanks
Hi Tanner, I badly need your help. I’m planning to buy a back pack, I just want to ask you if which leather material is better Bovine Leather or calf skin leather? Hope you could help me with this. Thank you
Loving these leather type comparisons and differences. I thought genuine leather was the real thing, thank goodness I came across your videos before I purchased it. I’d love to know what you think of Coccinelle products
Nah. Most of the time leather is already corrected to varying degree. See a shiny leather which is not cordovan (horse leather), it is bookbinder/polished/patented/corrected.
Its really all about The last sentence. Nothing is wrong with bonded leather or genuine leather as long as customers Know what they buy. For example car leather on surfaces that you don’t touch but want them to look nice don’t have to be the top grain leather if you ask me.
This get's confusing I think 'pebbled leather' the lower quality made to look like leather. But I was looking at an expensive bag where the sales assistant said they had 'brought out the grain'. What does that mean? It looked similar to pebbled.
I heard in other youtube channel saying that Coach pebble leather/ soft pebble leather (like coach cary bag, cassie 19 etc) use 'split leather', I suppose it's like the 'top grain' leather with chemical added on top, just not sure about it. If its the case, it would be quite disappointing
I wish brands provided the grain information consistently. I know that genuine leather can also be used as a marketing term to qualify the product is made from leather (not synthetic products like PU) but doesn’t mean the type of grain (or that’s what I read). The buyer doesn’t really know what is referred by just seeing genuine leather if additional information is not provided. I have just started not buying it if I can’t find additional information on the type of grain (this is my rule for online purchases of leather products that I can’t feel, look closely at or smell). Also, some brands may give you info on the type of hide (like cow or sheep) but doesn’tz tell the buyer which grain was used. It can be very confusing.

Yes! I see that on Etsy all the time and I’m like that Oprah meme “so what’s the truth?” 🤔

Would you make a video about English bridle leather? thank you
Thank you
Simple. Straightforward. Good video. I’m never buying genuine leather again. 😂
Same, all this time i thought it was good enough, no wonder it felt cheap
I feel like it’s a marketing ploy. Like the more you know, the better purchasing decisions you can make.
Nice Remarkanle. I just got mine
Do you have a video that talks about saffiano leather? I understand that a lot of name brands are using this technique leather. Would you consider it good leather or just basic? Thanks

Hello sir, can you make a review of germany's braun buffel
What is the eink tablet you used in the video?
Question: Is Box calfskin made from full grain leather or top leather? Or is Box calfskin completely different?
Hi Tanner, I badly need your help. I’m planning to buy a back pack, I just want to ask you if which leather material is better Bovine Leather or calf skin leather? Hope you could help me with this. Thank you
What about embossed print leather?
MERCI BEAUCOUP
It’s expensive but I wish you can review an Hermes bag!!

What about nubuk because I thought it was stronger than suede.
So heavy grain is what exactly…aka top grain too?
This get's confusing
I think 'pebbled leather' the lower quality made to look like leather. But I was looking at an expensive bag where the sales assistant said they had 'brought out the grain'. What does that mean? It looked similar to pebbled.
So, what the difference between crazy horse leather and full grain leather? And which one is better and more durable? 🤔

Why are they splitted and why top or full grain the most expensive?

What would Metis leather be?

This is why Vintage Coach bags are great…they use Full Grain Leather
Start with the animal first because I would like to know what parts are used when developing the by product for leather products
Nothing is wasted - there are many allied industries that benefit from the tanning process including glues, make up etc
The Bottega Veneta thing is really shocking. Just disgraceful.
What grain is 100% leather jacket? From superdry
