Bag material selection and maintenance methods

In today's fashion world, leather bags have become an indispensable trend item. Whether it's for business occasions or everyday life, we can see leather bags in a variety of styles, and in various materials.  So with such a variety of leather bags, how do you choose your materials? And how do you take care of them? Let me explain them to you.

1. Select the material for the bag

First, we need to understand what the common leather bag material is. ​At the present time, the usual materials for leather bags on the market are the following: cowhide, sheepskin, crocodile skin, snake skin, etc..Each material has its own distinct characteristics and strengths and weaknesses..Cowhide is highly resistant to wear, but rough;; Sheepskin is soft and pleasant to the touch, but easily scratched;; Crocodile skin has a high-class atmosphere, but is expensive;; Snakeskin has a distinctive texture and sheen, but it is easily deformed by moisture..Therefore, the choice should be made on the basis of their own needs and preferences.

2. Maintenance method

Regardless of the type of leather bag, maintenance is extremely critical..First, watch out for water and moisture..Once the bag is wet, it is prone to deformity, mold, and severe defoliation..Therefore, it is best not to use a leather bag on rainy days or when going to a humid environment such as the beach. If you accidentally get wet, you can gently wipe it off with a dry towel and place it in an airy area to dry naturally.

Secondly, regular cleaning is also essential. Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dust and stains from the surface of the leather bag..If you encounter stubborn stains, you can use a special leather cleaner to clean them.

Finally, care should be taken to avoid contact with acidic and alkaline substances. Acid and alkaline substances can corrode leather surfaces, causing discoloration, discoloration, and other problems..Therefore, when using perfumes, cosmetics, and other products that contain acid and alkalies, it is best to set the bag aside.

3. Special material maintenance

In addition to the common materials of cowhide, sheepskin, and the like, there are some special materials which require special care for their maintenance..Crocodile and snake skins, for example, have larger pores that easily absorb moisture and stain..Therefore, it is best to apply special maintenance oil before use, which is effective in preventing water penetration..At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun to avoid fading.
