? about Saffiano leather.

I think it's a textured leather, but not pebbled. I have a couple of bags labeled as Saffiano and they appear to have very subtle ridges in the leather. It's hard to explain, but the bags I have that are Saffiano are neither smooth nor pebbled, but clearly textured, but again, very subtly...

Thanks stevieb.... I thought you might have the answer. I read your post about TSV. I do not care for it either. Great minds think alike! LOL

For what it's worth, I like my Saffiano bags... I like the look of the subtly textured leather. Anyone seeking more of a Florentine like or more traditional leather look isn't probably going to appreciate this one, but I've yet to meet a leather finish (not to say color) I really don't like!

Saffiano leather has a little more structure than some other leathers, and it has what I refer to as a "crosshatch" pattern. I like it on some bags.

Thanks Divine, I think that describes it nicely.

What is Saffiano leather?

There are different web sites you can go to. Basically, the leather is tectured and then a wax treatment is used to coat it, making it scratch resistant, and water resistant. I have never seen it in person, but I imagine it is similar to the coating put on some of the LV bags.

Hope this helps.

PS where the heck is "spell check"?

Or Google images for Saffiano leather and some fabulous examples come up, several from Prada that are pretty sweet... and pricey!
