In the world of boutique brands, there are several kinds of leather commonly used in handbag making, which is believed to be very confusing for novices or beginners. In order to let everyone know the characteristics and differences of each fabric, five common leather materials are listed here, so that everyone can choose the style that suits them best!

Crocodile skin is actually a very rare and luxurious leather, and the manufacturing process is complicated, so handbags made of all crocodile skin are usually expensive. Crocodile skin has a natural checkered pattern. Although it lacks elasticity, it is very strong. After a long time, the luster of leather will become more and more obvious, and leather will become elastic. However, the manufacturing process of crocodile skin was accused of cruelty, which aggravated the extinction of crocodiles, so fewer and fewer high-end brands adopted crocodile skin.

To take good care of precious crocodile skin, you can first clean the stains with leather cleaner, even if the stains are not obvious, you need to clean them regularly. After that, mink oil with low oil and low sodium can be applied to the leather surface in a circular way to moisturize the leather.

Suede is soft and light to the touch, so basically all handbags are light. But at the same time, another disadvantage of lambskin is that it is not durable. If you want to maintain a lambskin handbag, you need to be extra careful to prevent scratches on the leather.

Due to the fragile nature of lambskin, in addition to avoiding being scratched in daily use, handbags should also be avoided being stored in the sun or at high temperature for a long time. If you are unfortunate enough to have a slight scratch, you can choose to gently circle it with a clean fingertip to smooth the trace as much as possible.

Another common leather in the world of famous brand handbags is calfskin! Compared with soft lambskin, calf leather is more durable and therefore easier to maintain.

In fact, it is very easy to maintain calf leather. If the handbag is stained, just wipe it off with emulsion, or even use expired cream or hand cream to reduce waste!

Because the leather surface has lines similar to litchi shells, this fabric has the title of "litchi skin". However, this is actually not leather made of lychee, but a real cowhide. After processing, uneven lines will be produced. Litchi peel is generally dumb, not only wear-resistant but also waterproof!

Litchi peel also needs to be carefully preserved, not washed and not exposed to the sun. It can usually be cleaned with transparent wax. It is also best to add soft cloth wrap or moisture-proof beads to the storage position of handbags to help absorb moisture.

In view of people's increasing attention to environmental protection, this kind of leather has gradually appeared in Bottega Veneta, Hermès, Chloé and other high-end fashion brands in recent years. In fact, vegan leather generally refers to a material that is friendly to animals and the production process is friendly to the environment. Basically, they are all artificial leather, such as pineapple skin, apple skin and mushroom skin, which are processed to produce a touch and material similar to genuine leather. In addition, this type of pure leather can be washed and is more durable, thus attracting many new generations who are concerned about environmental issues.

There are many ways to care for vegan leather. If you encounter slight dirt, you can gently wipe it with a soft towel dipped in warm water. However, if you get a stain that is difficult to clean, you can use a small amount of detergent and clean it with a sponge or towel. Remember to choose toiletries with soft materials and touch to avoid scratching your handbag.
