Not all leather is created equal. Full grain, top grain and genuine leather are probably terms you’ve seen on product pages, but what do they actually mean for the way a bag looks, feels, ages and lasts?

We created this quick guide to explain the difference, because when you’re investing in a leather product, you deserve to know exactly what you’re buying.

At Silver & Riley, the vast majority of our bags, including the New Yorker, Milan, Beverly Hills, Manila and Parisian, are made with full-grain leather. A small number, such as some of our NOLA Bucket Bags, are made with top-grain leather. We choose our leathers intentionally based on the design, structure and performance we want from each piece, and we tell you exactly what we use.

That transparency matters. “Genuine leather” simply means that a product is made with what still counts as leather; it does not tell you the grade, quality or construction of that leather. Hence, this is often used to describe lower grade leathers. When a brand uses full-grain or top-grain leather, there is no reason to hide behind a broader label. That’s why you’ll always find the specific leather used clearly stated on our product pages.

We want our leather goods to live with you, age beautifully and become even more yours over time, and we want you to understand what you’re paying for.

Save this for the next time you’re shopping for leather, and send it to someone who has always wondered what “genuine leather” actually means. 🤎

The best tote bags are the ones that make your life easier. For Chrisann, being a Mom with a lot to carry and a lot to do, the Manila Tote is her go-to as it has the space to hold everything she needs without sacrificing the way she wants to look. It is generously sized, structured and polished enough to go wherever her day takes her.

That versatility was intentional. We designed the Manila for women whose days require more from their bags: work, travel, motherhood, errands, meetings and everything in between. One beautiful tote that can keep up with all of it.

Crafted from durable cowhide leather with a spacious interior and a clean, timeless silhouette, the Manila is designed to be used often and loved for years.

Hear from Chrisann in her own words on why it works so well for her. ❤️
