What is your view of style?
Are you someone who always wants to be decked in the latest fashion? Or do you like the tried and true styles that have endured many decades?


Do you get tired easily of clothes or accessories you’ve had for more than two years?
Do you like change often? Do you like being the trend setter? Do you become jealous of your friends when they get the newest and greatest styles and feel you must do the same? Are your feelings about yourself and what you think others think about you based on how you keep up with the Jones? If you must keep up with the latest style or set a new trend, have financial limitations and don’t have a way to recoup the money you invested in your latest trend purchases, it is recommended you look for a leather product that has a rich quality grain appearance that has been stamped on the third grade of leather known as split leather. If you have no budgetary constraints by all means buy a product that is full grain. This is the highest grade of leather and the markings of the original hide remain.
