There are many kinds of materials for handbags, and different materials have their own characteristics and applicable scenarios. The following is a detailed introduction to common handbag materials:
1. Genuine leather
Top cowhide: This is the most high-end material, with a delicate feel and natural luster, durable and classy, suitable for business occasions.
Second layer cowhide: Made from the scraps of the top layer of cowhide, it is slightly less durable, but more affordable.
Sheepskin: Soft texture, comfortable touch, suitable for casual occasions, but poor wear resistance.
Other genuine leather: Such as crocodile leather, ostrich leather, etc., with unique texture and expensive price, suitable for high-end customization.
2. Artificial leather
PU leather: The appearance and feel are close to genuine leather, affordable, but the durability is poor, and it is easy to become brittle and crack.
PVC: High gloss, rich colors, but poor wear resistance and heat resistance, short service life.
3. Canvas
Durable and suitable for daily use, large capacity and environmentally friendly, but poor in water resistance and dirt resistance.
4. Nylon
Lightweight, wear-resistant and waterproof, suitable for sports or outdoor use, but easy to deform and yellow.
5. Woven material
Made from natural plants such as grass, rattan, and hemp, fashionable and lightweight, but with limited load-bearing capacity, it cannot be washed or exposed to the sun.
6. Other materials
Suede: Unique texture, but easy to fade and absorb dust, requiring professional care.
Velvet: Soft and comfortable, but easy to hide dirt and lint.
Taurillon leather: Soft and durable, often used in high-end handbags.
