Saffiano leather typically has the textured cross hatch print/pattern/coating, used by designer brands. We do not use this type of finish on our straps. We prefer to allow the genuine texture, grain and pebbling of the leather show (beautifully) on our straps. While the Saffiano look is stylish, it may not be as comfortable as our leathers, which are most similar to the leathers used in luxury cars and garments. That is to say, they are soft and pliable. Many of our customers with Saffiano bags have found our leather straps to be more comfortable and offer a suitable finish for their bags.
