Leather looks too #supple to be fake to me.
I'm hoping it rides a lot better than it looks. -
Bar end mirror takes it straight to beardy-weirdy territory for me.

I love bikes like this because you can look at them 100 times and still see something new, like the wooden peg, weird stem electronics and cable ties that aren't actually doing anything.

Deffo looks like genuine leather, just badly fitted / supported. Looks like clothing leather rather than luggage leather. Ideally it would have something inside to keep its shape or else it would flop all over the place like that. Fake leather rarely has that level of squish.

Spotted this in the bike racks at work. I figured it belonged either here or in the 'how not to lock your bike' thread, but the racks and dyno tipped it. Not sure how functional the (fake?) leather bikepacking bags are, mind...
