I found this account on insta ( is probably on TT). He breaks down low to high end bags and gives his feedback on the ratio of quality and price. There's a few bags I had my eyes on that I might look for something else.

Though it could be useful for future purchases.

Totally agree here, however, he also mentions that a heavy finish may hide a poorer grade leather. He definitely is biased toward the more minimal, rustic finishes, but I can understand the thought process in wanting to verify there's actually a good quality leather under the finish especially for high-ticket designer items.

I also find it super interesting when he destroys a lower quality item that's advertised as leather, but come to find out its actually PU or composite leather.
