Vegan leather vs. genuine leather

The everyday and pattern organizer sets in this catalog are built from vegan leather -- a wipeable, water-resistant PU material that holds its shape and shrugs off a leaking bottle. It's the right call for anything that lives in a shower bag or a packed suitcase.

The crossbody bags are genuine top-layer grain leather instead, chosen for a piece that's meant to age and soften with use rather than get wiped down after every trip. Neither material is better across the board -- it depends on whether the piece is doing hard travel duty or daily carry.
