Full grain or synthetic
| Full grain leather | Synthetic leather | |
|---|---|---|
| Over the years | Gains a patina, can be repaired | Keeps its look, cannot be repaired |
| Against water | Dislikes prolonged damp | Handles rain better |
| Weight | Heavier | Lighter |
The product page always states which one it is. Synthetic is not a second choice: for daily city use in the rain it ages better than neglected full grain.
What gives way first
- The strap anchor points: a riveted ring lasts, a plain seam onto the lining does not.
- The zip: on a small bag it is opened many times a day.
- The edge paint: on leather, the cut edges are the first place wear shows.
