Coach calls it "Loved Leather," a worn, pre-distressed finish on the Compass Duffle 45 that sounds a lot like their ReLoved program (which recycles old bags). It's not the same thing. So what is it, exactly? I take my own $550 bag through alcohol, acetone, and sandpaper to find out what's underneath the finish, whether it rubs off on your clothes, and if it actually holds up to Coach's legendary Glovetanned leather. Full leather, hardware, design, engineering, and craftsmanship breakdown, plus a real cost estimate on what this bag likely costs Coach to make. DISCLAIMER: This is an UNSPONSORED review.

Week 24 from Ubrique, and a lot happened. I found a leather sample from my favorite Tuscan tannery... and it might be the worst leather I've ever touched. I also got my hands on a suede article, unlike anything I've seen before. And I couldn't stop thinking about the box Jacquemus shipped their bag in. This is the beginning of a new series: a field journal of life in the leatherverse. Every week, a few threads, captured as they happen. Let me know at the end if this format works for you. --- CHAPTERS/TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – That Jacquemus Box Can't stop thinking about it 0:20 – Week 24 Begins in Ubrique A field journal of life in leather 1:17 – Weekly Planning Session The threads I'm chasing this week 1:43 – Pattern Making with My Patronista Learning what I can before leaving Ubrique 4:04 – What I Learned from Anya Key pattern making principles I've never seen digitally 4:34 – The Worst Leather from My Favorite Tannery Found this nightmare hiding in my cutting unit 5:31 – Aniline vs Finished Leather Why some tanneries should stick to what they know 6:18 – Poşet Bag Delivery Update Thousands of customers finally getting their bags 6:57 – A Suede Unlike Anything I've Seen Long fibers, bleached tips, and a shedding problem 8:39 – The Experiment Continues Making a bag with it anyway 9:02 – A Friend's Workshop in Crisis What happens when brands slow down 9:40 – Helping Tell His Story Breaking free from brand dependency 10:15 – The Jacquemus Box Rant Measuring exactly how excessive it is 12:30 – Weekend in Málaga Two hours from Ubrique, and worth every minute --- PRODUCTS FEATURED: Poşet Leather Grocery Bag: https://www.tannerleatherstein.com/products/poset-leather-grocery-bag-tobacco --- SHOP LINK FOR MY BRAND PEGAI (Buy our good-quality finished leather goods): https://www.tannerleatherstein.com/. - You may also buy them on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PEGAI.
