What full-grain leather means for you
Full-grain is the top layer of the hide, left as it is. It is stronger than top-grain (which is sanded to remove marks), develops a softer feel and a richer colour over the years, and is the reason a Pom Pom London bag can carry a 365-day warranty. It is also why no two bags are exactly alike.
Where Sofia & Spritz may suit you better
If you want the specific shape of the Alba or Lyla, or their current gift bundle appeals, they are a reasonable choice. We would rather you buy the right bag than ours.
Where Pom Pom London may suit you better
If you want a wider choice of shapes and sizes, a bigger colour range, full-grain leather and a full year's warranty, start with our leather crossbody bags or use the bag comparison guide to pick a size. And if you already own a Sofia & Spritz bag, our straps fit most clip-on bags, so you can mix and match.
