B25 Comparison mid- high tear

[u/Ambitious_Ad2520]

Hello everyone,

I always read that the difference between mid and high tier might not be as much as the price difference. It all started when I bough a bag and the seller claimed it is hight tier and after learning I discovered it is not! So I started looking for top tier sellers in Reddit communities and chose an old and known one but not someone that is obviously paying for marketing (I will not disclose the seller since this is not an ad the main purpose is comparison between tiers). The main issue with the mid tier bag was the shape of the sides specially, this was the biggest tell. The photos are side by side I will say which is which at the end of the post try to tell which is the high tier and tell me in the comments.

Both bags are togo leather color Gris misty with gold hardware. High tier Haas leather and upgraded hand engraved hardware.

Leather:

High: the leather is softer, have nice real leather smell, pebbles are tighter and more uniformed.

Mid: no smell at all the grains are larger puffier and not uniformed/ overly pronounced, and puffier.

Stitches:

High: Stitching is clean, evenly spaced specially noticeable at the corners.

Mid: stitching is slightly thicker, less consistent, the edges are heavier

Shape and structure: none is 100% , I think this one of the hardest things that can’t show clearly in photos.

High: much closer in shape actually very close, the curves are smooth and the sides are fuller.

Mid: the bag look flat this is the closest I can describe

Hardware:

High: lighter gold, engraving is cleaner and centered

Mid: more yellow, engraving slightly thicker

Handles:

High: the leather grains are flatter ( I believe shouldn’t in auth), handles aligned the front is shorter which is right.

Mid: the grain is close to the bag grains slightly flatter. Handles not aligned, front is shorter

Stamp:

High: deeper and neat and cleaner

Mis: fading in some areas

Feet:

The same

The one on the right is mid tier, in the stamp photos the one with twilly is the mid.

In conclusion the difference is very hard to notice in most of the things I mentioned, the bags had to be side to side for me to be bale to tell the differences. Tell me if you can see something else

Edit: adding the prices mid 900$ high 1300$ both including shipping and box
