The Things to Watch Out for When Buying a Leather Bag

I. Examine the appearance

 Genuine leather has no basis, but artificial materials do; genuine leather has tiny pores, whilst imitation leather does not. The difference between genuine and fake leather is that genuine leather is black and velvety, while imitation leather is brilliant.

II. Tactility

The fake material plastic sensation is extremely strong, glossy dazzling, winter hand touch has a cold feeling, leather smooth hand touch does not have a cold feeling.

III. The smell of leather

When there is an animal fat odor (i.e. leather scent), fake leather has a plastic odor. The scent of burnt hair comes from burning the edges of the leather with fire, while fake leather smells like plastic.

IV. Cortices

With thumb pressure, finished softer part, many broken small, uniform pattern appears in the thumb around the leather, thumb lift away, the pattern disappears, indicating that the material surface of the grain layer and the following mesh layer has been detached. Artificial materials may not have the pattern, may also appear coarse grain, thumb lift away, the pattern does not disappear, indicating that the material surface of the grain layer and the following mesh layer has been detached.

V. Examine the cross-section

The fiber composition of the l eather cross-section is irregular; after scraping off the broken leather fiber with fingernails, the cross-section shows no visible changes; the texture of the leather is irregular in different sections. Place tiny droplets of water on the leather's surface; after a few minutes, the water droplets will have diffused through the pores, leaving a visible wet area that will absorb water.

Furthermore, the use of leather bags should be mentioned.

When not in use, store the leather bag in a cotton bag rather than a plastic bag since the air within the plastic bag does not circulate, causing the leather to become overly dry and damaged. To keep the leather bag in good shape, pack it with some soft toilet paper. If you don't have access to a good fabric bag, an old pillowcase will suffice.

Wipe metal bag attachments with a dry cloth after use to keep them in good shape. To remove minor oxidation, lightly rub the metal with flour or toothpaste. Lacquered leather can be wiped clean using a gentle cloth in most cases. Leimande is a high-quality laptop backpack wholesaler. Please contact us if you have any requirements.
