Is top-grain leather used on all the pieces of the bag?

Yes, except for the interior lining of course. It even had a leather tag hanging off the side that used top grain. I use chamberlain's leather milk and find that I also need to use it on the additional straps. Really great bag

It is made of thick, heavy oiled leather - very durable and very heavy. It is unlike the top-grade harness leather of which I am familiar. The finish is not the same. I think possibly that's what it does not cost $500 to $600 like similar bags. I saddle soaped the bag to remove excess oil which stained my clothes. It looks good and is well-made but is still very heavy.

I travelled all over the world with my bag in all kinds of bad weather, and to be honest the bag looks even better now than when it was brand new. I put bee wax on it to avoid the water soaking into the leather and that has worked excellent. The leather is such a high quality that the bag will last a lifetime :)

Yes, it is coarse, but there is powder in the bag. We think it might have broken up some during shipping.

According to the listing for this and the matching pieces on Cymax, they state, "Covered in top grain/split leather to provide high-end look."So... that does not mean bonded leather!However the frame is hard wood, but from what I can tell, the rest of the detailing is not wood but some sort of painted resin that appears to look like wood.

The definition of top grain leather is the leather comes from the outermost upper layer of the cowhide, and top grain leather is the only leather recommended for all high quality sofa leather.Both grade of the leather we are using are top grain leather.Many ThanksStendmar Inc.

Yes, I have. But not when the bags were new. It was after the leather had turned that wonderful honey color. I use this product on everything I own that is leather! It is wonderful!

I have had no issue on my dyed leather bags and accessories. LH has worked on every single leather product thus far. I've only used on handbags, wallets, and small leather goods.

i would describe it as "leather-ish" lol it's grainy, not as smooth nor shiny as leather but you could spill something on it and not worry about a stain or anything. my dogs have licked it and it just dries, i've wiped it down with a clorox wipe.

No, it says on the package that it should not be used on suede, nubuck, and rough out leathers

According to their website http://mckleinusa.com/index.php?main_page=faqs - they have been made at the same 'state of the art' facility for over 35 years in Thailand using full grain leather. I did not see any notice on your query. They say they use only the finest products and processes and I have no complaints, so I expect if you are not satisfied, will have to email them regards steve

Never considered that. All use I know of has been for smooth work leather. Email the vendor or Russell Moccasin for guidance. They are both super folks

I'd probably say it will soften and darken the leather. As for ruining the boots, it depends on the type of boots, age, and condition of the leather uppers. If the boots have leather uppers that are worn, scruff, feeling powdery to the touch, then probably not. On the contrary, it might revive the boots and give the leather uppers another year or so--such was the case with my keen hiking boots. If the boots are new and have much of the leather uppers intact, I would say let it be. But I would value the opinions from folks with more hiking experience and those who own more technical hiking boots. hope this info helps.

My white leather Miu Miu tote and light pink bag was not darkened from use. However I would advise against using it on ragged or damaged corners and scrapes on the bag. The corner of my wallet was somewhat darkened by the leather care but the rest of it was unaffected.

I have been using the bag on regular basis and it's holding up really well. The leather looks more scuffed and used which adds to its personality and looks.

I am not sure but...I think it is the dye on new leather. Still like the bag.

No, it is made of the same soft leather material as the entire case. You won't be disappointed in this case, it is very nice :-)
