The disadvantages of genuine leather bags are rather high prices, as well as special care, because you can only remove some dirt from a genuine leather bag in dry cleaning.
For the production of bags, these types of leather are used:
- calfskin. Very smooth and pleasant to the touch material. Calf leather is preferred by the most luxurious brands in the production of bags.
- lamb skin. It has a cream color, soft pleasant material. Lambskin has a high value because products made from this material require special care.
- rawhide skin. Very delicate and soft, rare. In the process of processing it is not amenable to tanning.
- nappa - calfskin. It has a particularly soft and smooth texture. Processing is chrome tanned.
- patent leather. It is distinguished by its smoothness and brilliance. One of its advantages is the strong water-repellent properties obtained by processing with a special agent.
- granular skin. As the name implies, this leather has a grainy surface, which is considered its special advantage.
- nubuck. Nubuck is a type of smooth calf leather. The material has a velvety texture and is very delicate and vulnerable.
- suede leather.This material is similar to nubuck, but is valued much higher than it. To obtain it, the processing of the inner surface of cowhide is used.
- vatchetta. Vachetta is used to decorate bags. This is untreated leather, its disadvantage is rapid contamination and the fact that the material darkens from sunlight. The well-known brand Louis Vuitton is very fond of using vachetta in the production of their bags.
