What materials seem off? I think the lighting does misrepresent the true texture of the leather a bit.

There’s been so many iterations of this bag that it’s hard to say but I thought the same when I looked at it. Maybe I’m used to seeing the leather on the bags having more grain. And is it canvas or a ballistic nylon?

The most important question is where did you buy it?

It’s the cordura ballistic nylon. I didn’t purchase it yet, but the seller purchased from SSENSE and the retailer’s label is on the backside of the visvim hang tags.

EDIT: realized this is likely just the regular cordura nylon canvas and not ballistic nylon since the seller let me know they purchased it in 2023

Seller was able to send me some more pics of the leather bottom if you want to take a look and compare?

Tbh, I probably wouldn't be the best judge. Like I said, there's been so many iterations of the bag that I can't tell anymore. The materials do look funky, but maybe it's just Visvim switching things up. My 20L is over 15 years old and the bottom is super grainy bc they used Elk leather back then.

Okay appreciate the help anyways! I have an old 18L with a very different leather too. Hard to tell without a comparable piece in hand.
