My favorite leathers are...Togo, Clemence, Box, and Barenia. Most other leathers I don't mine but after buying my Bern wallet in Epsom I would never buy Epsom again. Great video!
@CalebSnell2 ай бұрын
Oooh! I love those leathers too! I’m not the biggest fan of Epsom, but what turned you off of Epsom with the wallet?
@monarch64432 ай бұрын
@@CalebSnell I researched the leathers and Epsom was repeatedly stated to be the strongest leather and great for heavy use. The problem with Epsom is that since it's an embossed leather, the pattern is pressed into the leather so it may help the leather hold its shape and people say it's resistant to scratching but after 3 to 4 months I saw light spots and it just got worse. Two years later I have a wallet with spaces all over it where the pattern has just disappeared and you see the light tannish color under the embossed pebbled pattern. You're right about the spa! When I took it to that Hermes night I showed it to the spa worker and he said that's just the way Epsom is and it can't be fixed. It would be like putting each little pebble back on the leather. It was over $2,000.00 so I will wear it until it falls apart but I wish I had gotten a softer leather like my Bastia.

Love the look of Togo and the feel of Clemence. Swift is absolutely beautiful but too delicate for my liking. I hope to experience Box in person one day. Nice video!

I'm with you on Box leather being my favourite. I've just spent three weeks debating buying a B30 Black Box Sellier (pre owned) . It is absolutely gorgeous, but, I want it for an everyday work bag and I'm in the UK. So the prospect of scratches and water damage gave me such anxiety that I decided against it and bought an Epsom one instead. I love Epsom for its durability and lightness in comparison to my Togo and Clemence bags. Definitely a good decision I think but the Box Sellier haunts my dreams. 😫 Great informational video.

Box is just he best! I love box, but rain gives me anxiety too when it comes to the rain, so I completely understand. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

I am a Coach girl and my preference is glovetann leather, I have been able to acquaint myself with togo, epsom and caviar leathers, I do like those. I am enjoying and will be watching👀😎

This is such an interesting video! I was going to ask (dumb question, bought chypre sandals and somehow went off the deep end in research), but where does “calfskin” fall in the categories or is it in its own? Appreciate the insight!
@CalebSnellАй бұрын
So calfskin is what most of the leathers like Togo, Clemence etc are made of. But it may get a different treatment than those leather.
