Leather grades describe quality based on hide section.
Full Grain. Highest quality, using the entire outer layer. Very durable.
Top Grain. The second layer, sanded or buffed to remove imperfections. making it smoother and more uniform.
Split Grain. Suede. The inner layers lefter after splitting the top grain.
Genuine Leather. Made from the split layers. its real leather but lower quality. often textured.
Bonded leather. lowest grade. made from leather scraps ground into pulp and bonded together. least durable and the most affordable.
- Higher grades ( full and top grain) are more durable and expensive. Lower grades ( genuine bonded ) are cheaper but wear out faster.
Shopping For The Holidays And Beyond
When shopping for the holidays we don't want to buy junk and throw away items. Shopping with sustainability in mind creates less waste and senseless gift shopping. Shopping with intention is the way to go. A candle, chapstick, reusable bag, nail polish, socks etc.

It is fall season my all time favorite time of the year for fashion. I love layering clothing and the fabrics that come with the fall season. We are now buying for the fall and listing fall items online + shopping in store.

Fall is a wonderful time for fashion
Fall is a wonderful time for fashion. Layering pieces, jackets, cardigans, sweaters and statement jackets. Fall fabrics we love are lush like cashmere, wool and weighted silk. Depending on where you live layering is the key for warmth and comfort. We encourage you to explore mixing vibrant colors with darker key fall and winter hues to bring a pop of color to your outfit. It is possible to mix your spring/summer wardrobe with winter/fall by pulling out a t shirt and layering it with a cardigan or sweater. Layering a spring/summer strap dress with a turtleneck or long sleeve underneath. There are many ways to incorporate spring/summer items into fall/winter. Styling and layering is key.
