quality of leather in question

The build quality is decent at this point.  I question the leather as water penetrates and wets the leather easily.  It appears the leather was not treated in any way to be water repellent.  I expected better leather quality from ECCO.

I am rarely disappointed with my Amazon purchases, mostly because the descriptions are clear and the reviews are helpful. This one did not have reviews, so I should have been more wary. However, it is priced significantly higher than other covers, so I was hopeful that the quality would also be higher. I was sadly disappointed. The quality of the workmanship and the quality of the leather certainly do not justify the price. The main panels on the front and back may be genuine leather, but the edges and handle are obviously vinyl. I would not recommend this leather cover. It is serviceable, and it will do the job, but I am not thrilled with it. I will probably be returning it.

The leather was also, poor quality of this leather. 2 day use and are already damaged.
Poor quality control on the shippers responsibility.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Nine-West-Women-s-Accidental-Leather-Ballet-Flat-Taupe-Taupe-7-5-M-US/dp/B00QX1PWDA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Nine West Women's Accidental Leather Ballet Flat, Taupe/Taupe, 7.5 M US</a>

I have been looking for a good quality leather messenger bag for a while now. Sadly most of the options on Amazon are cheaply made with genuine leather. I fell into this trap myself when I purchased a Samsonite bag which was featured as an Amazons choice item. The issue with those cheaper bags is that the leather is not good quality and the metal parts are just as bad. Within a week of owning that bag I noticed that the leather was staining my lighter clothes and saw that many people had issues with the metal prices breaking. After doing more research I learned that Full Grain leather is the real, quality stuff that I was looking for. The Polare bag is the cheapest option I could find that used good quality materials and craftsmanship. While it does still have the issue of staining clothes I have been told by multiple sources that leather conditioner can prevent this and that it is something that should be expected on leather products. If the problem still persists I may take the bag to a shoe repair shop for more expertise.

Some of the Leather almost looks  like those cheap patch-work all leather bags for $25.00.  I have 3 different colors on my bag. A little disappointing to say the least.  A beautiful saddle color leather, a deep dark brown leather and a reddish brown leather...Not to noticeable from a distance of 20 feet....But I'm the guy carrying the bag,  I  will just use this as my toss around bag and not worry about it  as I did get it for $220.00.  Next time I will spend the money and get a better bag.  Nice nice, made well, I just have 3 different colors of leathers.....It would have been a factory reject anywhere else and maybe it was, the add said nothing to that though.

I didn't except that i am going to receive a product with error. Where is the quality control from these issues.
I am very disappointed to buy a very reputable brand with manufacturing mistake.
The external layer of leather is de-attached from its  core layer, and filled with air. It is very vulnerable to be cutted or pealed especially it is the base.
One bad issue destroys all the marvelous picture of the bag.

*the pictures don't show clearly the problem. But i did my best to show it.

Leather was quite dry when it arrived. Multiple applications of leather conditioner will hopefully help it last at least 6 years, just like my last one.

I returned them to China and have NOT heard anything yet!!!

Will Leather Goods: pay top dollar for Made in China labels and low quality. would be curious to follow it back to the cow it came from. Im sure it's a dark road.  Mine did not last got it as a present. Seems like a quality artisanal brand.

Item arrived promptly and I was a bit surprised. Perhaps I am jaded, but I expected it to be a leather "cover" slipped over a blank commercially created book, not a hand stitched book with thick soft pages. There is the advertised high page count for the book, and the pages hold the in in but I suspect it would bleed with spell inks or very liquid style inks due to the softness of the individual pages.

The cover art may be lovely to look at, but it is not good quality leather as I had hoped for and there are significant flaws in the leather art work due to the leather itself being flawed, but that is just how leather is and gives a realistic look and feel to the book. The size is just as advertised so over all I feel as if I got what I paid for and maybe a bit more. The price was not cheap, nor is the book itself cheaply made though I would be willing to pay more for the next one if the quality of the leather improves!

As others indicate the material quality is so-so but that's to be expected given the price. The size was also as expected so no problems there. What I had a problem with, which I notice someone else has had a problem with as well, is that it says "Genuine Leather" on the back. I made sure to email the company before posting this and asked them about it. They claim that this isn't leather though in comparison I bought a vegan belt which did not smell the same nor did it have the same texture. When I asked what material the belt is made from they dodged answering anything that specific. Here's what they said: "BUT THIS BELT IS 100% NOT REAL LEATHER , MAY JUST SMELL"

So... yeah. Inconclusive. That's all I can say. They did at least refund without any issues so no problems there.

While I have it only a very short time I'm impressed with the quality of the leather.  All too many belts today have a lining on the inside that is something other than quality leather than tends to break down shortly after it is worn several times.  I don't feel that that will occur with this belt, it is solid quality leather.

It is actually suede leather and the material is fairly thick, but the stitching is subpar. 3 of the seams are near identical but one is poorly spaced. About what I should have expected for the price.

I was excited wen I ordered these but upon arrival the quality of the collars seem to be cheaply made. The "leather" seems to be of quite lesser quality than the ones I am replacing. Seems like the eye's/holes will rip out pretty quickly as the leather feels like paper as it is less dense than previous collar. I base this on feel and have not used them and will be returning them. Anyone have a recommendation for a better quality collar, please let me know,

I got these shoes a few months ago on sale but was still disappointed with the quality of leather. Seriously, my five year old Nun Bush looks newer than these couple of months old shoes.

I had to exchange the first pair I bought because both shoes had flaws.  DO NOT expect good leather shoes, they are not.  They are low quality exteriors, and will tear quite easily after seeing the damage on the first pair I received from shipping.  However, the reviews are all high, they do have a nice fit and a nice look.  I prefer high quality leather footware, but it is very difficult to find anymore.  These are satisfactory.  I find I have more shoes and just change them out more often so they last longer.  I have leather shoes from 30 years ago that are in excellent condition, but those days are gone.  Look to the reviews and comments to find the most reliable in our present markets.

Not sure if this is real leather or not. It's nice but i simply have doubts about the full quality
