Pebbled vs Smooth Leather Purses: Fingerprints, Scratches, and Care
A purse can look perfect in a showroom and still become a “high-maintenance” item once it enters daily life. The first week usually answers the real questions: Do you see fingerprints after every grab? Do scratches appear when the bag brushes a coat zipper? Does the leather look dull where your hand touches most? Pebbled and smooth leather react differently to these everyday moments because texture and finish change how light hits the surface, how friction marks show up, and how oils from skin spread.
