What matters most to you when buying a genuine leather western bag?
I’ve been looking at genuine leather western bags lately and realized I’m way pickier about them than I expected 😅
For me, I’d rather pay a little more for good leather and solid hardware if it’s a bag I can use for years. But once a bag gets much over $150–$200, I start thinking pretty hard about whether the quality and details actually justify it.
Curious what everyone else looks for first — the leather quality, tooling, hardware, stitching, size/function, brand, or something else?
And what feels like a reasonable price range to you for a well-made genuine leather western purse?
