There’s nothing like maintaining high-quality leather. I bought my Occidental tool bag setup last year and I expect these to last for a big portion of my career as an electricianMiserable_Squirrel16 t1_ir198ia wrote
Genuine question for any leather experts, how do you tell if leather is good quality, what am I looking for in terms of description and looks? I want to buy a leather handbag from a local leather shop but it's super expensive and i would like to know if it's worth it!

This guide looks pretty good.
Personally I look out for top grain or full grain. There should be a distinct leather smell, different from how a cheap leather wallet smells.
If it’s a local leather shop, I’d ask someone who works there what grade of leather they use and how it’s treated; quality craftsmen like showing off.
