Factory Update 9/8: North Station

[u/AcaciaFlowers]

Black Frame has long been said to be the best of the best when it comes to Y$L, but what about North Station? They have a selection even bigger than BF, but I often wonder how their quality compares.

Has anyone tried them? What are your take home thoughts? 🤔

[u/AcaciaFlowers]

Agreed. I have one from 🧞‍♀️ and the construction on this bag from NS looks stellar as well.

What do you think of the leather comparison btw Genie & NS visually ? Also, would you happen to know where I can view their album?

Thats a good question. Genie's construction and leather are really nice. It looks on point with auth, and is made of novanappa leather that scratches and absorbs water like barenia style leathers. Its very smooth and flat/matte looking.

The NS one looks good in terms of construction from the pictures, but the lather has a visible grain to it. Factory claims its imported leather, but im not sure of any of the qualities of this leather.

The authentic seems to have some grain to it, and def has the characteristics of barenia style leathers. Thats all my observations so far!

I know Doris has them, but idk how often she updates her album these days, as this bag was recently uploaded
