    Full-grain leather bags are typically the most durable. Full-grain leather comes from the outermost layer of the hide and does not undergo buffing or sanding. As a result, the material is strong but has a supple feel. Keep in mind that manufacturing techniques also affect durability. Handmade bags created in accordance with strict quality controls are likely to last the longest. Find a wide variety of leather bags on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    Genuine leather handbags are bags made from materials derived from animal hides. Calfskin and cow leathers are the most common, but you can also find handbags fashioned out of other types of leather, like goat, lamb, ostrich and crocodile. Bags also differ in terms of the types of leather they feature. Full-grain leather is unsanded, untreated leather that comes from the outermost portion of the hide, while top-grain leather is leather from the top of the hide that has been sanded and buffed to make it smoother. Explore a wide range of leather handbags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
