There was a handbag on PM Style last night that was Saffiano leather. I had never heard of it before. I was curious so I looked up some info online. Evidently the leather is crosshatched to create a texture that makes it very durable and very easy in terms of care. Some very expensive brands have been using it for years.

I actually bought a bag at TJMaxx a few weeks ago, and I am guessing it is Saffiano leather. When I bought it, I thought it was just a textured vinyl. I think it is an interesting material, because it is so lightweight yet structured. I've only carried mine a few times since I purchased it, so I'm not sure yet if I would buy another in this material. Does anyone else have a handbag in this material? What are your thoughts on Saffiano leather?

Wilma, I absolutely love my Saffiano Fendi handbag. It is so lightweight and really holds up. I thought at first it was not leather, but after some research, my Saffiano bag is completely leather. It is just the process they use to develop this leather. I would not hesitate to purchase a Saffiano bag again. Good luck in your decision.

It is good to know your bag has really held up after some time. I try to be careful with my more expensive bags, but I don't baby them. I carried my Saffiano again today. It is very lightweight. I really like that about it. I hate heavy bags, so there may be more Saffiano in my future.

That is wonderful that you have found the Saffiano a great purchase! I wore mine today, and I never regretted a day that I bought this bag. Yes, mine was very expensive; but it was an investment that I knew I would enjoy for years to come. And, like you....it is very lightweight in comparison to other leathers out there. I forgot to mention that this type of leather and bag really gives me options both day and night....work, dressed down or up. Always classy. Enjoy yours!!!

I have to have this type of leather. I am hard on handbags, and this type lasts. I really like it.

I purchased my first Saffiano leather from QVC, the Tig tote, and I loved it so much, I've consequently purchased 2 more: a small crossbody from Kate Spade, and a shoulder bag from JCrew. This leather is outstanding. It looks high end and sophisticated, yet you can't do anything to it! I love it! I usually go for distressed bags or cloth because I don't want to hurt the leather, and with this it's no issue! I'm looking for more! :-D

Coach has a line of saffiano leather bags. I don't like the leather. It just feels fake to me even though I know it's real leather.

I have a Sharif saffiano bag I took to Ireland last fall. I spend three weeks traveling on busses with it in the overhead on the floor and generally abused. It still looks brand new but I do understand the vinyl issue. On the other hand I just bought a MK handbag I'm going to have to be very careful with to keep looking nice.
