Five good reasons to prefer a leather bag

We could list even more, but in this article we have chosen to be short, so we will give you “only” five good reasons to prefer the leather bag. Do not forget that leather bags are among the accessories designed to last longer in your closets, are affordable with the advantage of making us always look good. In addition, a leather bag has a unique, unmistakable scent that no other accessory has.

Quality, versatility and durability are the main advantages of leather fashion accessories: keep this in mind in your next shopping tour!

 

  • Chameleon

The leather bag goes well with everything from an evening dress to simple jeans and t-shirts. The beauty of the leather is that it is versatile and suitable for many different occasions. And it’s like wine: it gets even better with time, giving that vintage touch that is so classy.

 

  • High quality at an affordable price

Today the bags, backpacks and wallets made by leather craftsmen have prices that are accessible for everyone. Moral: you do not need to spend a fortune to bring home a quality product and make you look great!

 

  • Capacious and resistant

Leather is a durable, robust and wear-resistant material. It is a faithful bag, suitable for both work and leisure, made of an extremely elastic material and therefore able to contain more personal items and support the weight of everyday life without suffering damage.

 

  • Enemy of the stains

Genuine leather is washable and resistant not only to time but also to stains. So, do not worry, if ice cream or a little ‘cocktail will pour on the bag during a more cheerful evening…. Your leather bag will remain the faithful companion of all time, without stains or unwanted halos.

 

  • Hypoallergenic and “green”

Leather is hypoallergenic par excellence because it does not have a porous fiber; therefore, it can not accommodate powders or mites. So, if you choose a bag made with this material, it will be very difficult to find it dusty at the bottom of the drawer or closet after a season of downtime. Another noteworthy detail is that leather is processed according to regulated processes and respecting the environment, and the bags, like other fashion accessories, are produced with “recycled” leather from cattle for slaughter. So there is no waste or unnecessary sacrifice.

The preparation of a leather product

The realization of a leather product requires different important processes: from cutting to quality control, passing through the preparation and assembly of the components. All stages that underline the mastery of the craftsmen of this sector, pride of our Made in Italy.

The cutting

The first phase is the cutting. The skins are first checked and selected, with the latest generation of electronic machinery, after which the various parts that will comprise the bag, the wallet or another accessory are cut: leather, flocking, linings or different reinforcements.

The splitting

Subsequently, the preparation of the leather product involves the splitting phase, which is achieved by lowering the thickness of the leather according to the type of bag that is being produced, adjusting its stiffness or softness. Thus the edges of the various components of the bag are smoothed.

During the various stages of processing, the skin may undergo modifications, ie it may retreat or lengthen. A margin of about 4 mm is then left at the edge, which increases the perimeter of the dial of the bag.

The re-cutting

After having rechecked and assembled all the parts of the bag, the re-cutting allows to finish the product, according to the exact proportions. This allows to meticulously finish the edges of the bag, using the same colors or deliberately creating color contrasts.

The assembly

This is the final stage and can be carried out on different types of machinery, but some steps – depending on the product and who makes it – can be done by hand, to give value to the craftsmanship of the product. Moreover, depending on the type of object, the operations of brushing and polishing of the leather can be the next steps.

Tips: how to clean your leather backpack

A holiday at the sea, a bike tour or a motorbike excursion: the summer days are more and more dynamic and funny and, if you count to bring your “faithful” leather backpack with you, it is good to know that in case of unexpected stains, there is no need to despair because everything can be solved. Moreover, to keep the leather in good condition, do not forget a little “maintenance”, which means to hydrate it periodically.

 

Three tips

 

Here are three practical tips to clean your backpack or your leather bag.

  1. Do not use water, in order to avoid worsening the situation. For instance, on the leather, we could create halos that are difficult to remove.
  2. Much depends on the type of stain: if it is a slight trace of dirt, you can take a cotton swab or a white rag soaked with neutral detergent milk (the one you use to remove make-up on your face).
  3. With the cotton swab gently rub the stain and let the backpack dry, avoiding direct sun, if possible.

 

Ordinary maintenance

How to do the “ordinary maintenance” of your leather backpack?

Sometimes the leather needs to be hydrated – especially in the Summer, when it is more exposed to the sun, heat and wind – just like the skin of our body, you can use a fairly solid moisturizer, not overly greasy.

For polishing, you can use an old grandma’s remedy: rub a pair of nylon stockings to make the backpack shinier and ready for the whole Summer.
