Why Do Women Buy Real Leather Handbags?

What Is Good About Real Leather?

The Benefits of Real Leather are that it ages well and lasts a long time. Unlike most man-made or synthetic materials, genuine leather gets better with age, acquiring a depth of patina and character that is individual to the user, much like a favourite pair of jeans.

 

Why Do Women Prefer To Buy Real Leather Handbags?

Leather bags provide good protection for your belongings and have longevity. Real leather is a tough and extremely durable material that makes products look more sophisticated and expensive than synthetic materials.

Is Leather Fashionable Today?

Yes, leather is one of those classic fashion staples that regardless of era, trend or style, will always be incorporated into new collections each season. We simply love its tactile demeanour; the way it looks, the way it feels. Whilst different colours come and go with the seasons, the neutrality of black ensures it remains key in any wardrobe.

 

What Does Wearing Leather Signify?

To this day, leather is still a symbol of power and protection. When we surround ourselves with leather products, we not only get style and elegance but the feel-good factor, as well as comfort. This is something which cannot be achieved by most other materials.

Is Leather A Trend For 2022?

Yes absolutely, leather is everywhere in 2022 street style. You’ll find it in leather jackets, dresses, skirts, boots, fingerless gloves and handbags to name but a few items. Plus, the biker chic aesthetic is bang on-trend for 2023.

 

Why Should I Buy Real Leather When Fake/Faux Leather Looks Exactly The Same And Is Cheaper?

When it comes to buying products for long term use at work or leisure, you should always buy the best you can afford. Products made with cheaper fake and faux leather (synthetic material), along with bonded leather (leather shavings mixed with glue) are a false economy; the fabrics used are more fragile and less hard wearing. There are some very convincing products that look like the real thing but you’ll find that they don’t last as long and you’ll require a replacement pretty quickly. If your budget can stretch to a real leather product, it will reward you with better performance and greater lifespan. When properly cared for genuine leather can last for years.

Why Is Leather So Expensive?

Genuine leather is one of the most desirable and aesthetically pleasing materials available and with its ability to stand the test of time it is considered a luxury material. This means it typically comes with a high price tag.

Leather is the skin of an animal; it is a by-product of the meat industry. It takes approximately twelve months to prepare the hide, to cure it and treat the leather so that it can be utilised to make handbags, shoes, jackets, gloves, sofas, watch straps and umpteen other useful items.

How To Care For Pull-Up Leather Handbags

 Our Pull-Up leather is robust, smooth cow hide that has been dyed, then treated with a special, secret blend of waxes and oils to create a stunning vintage effect. When this leather is stretched or pulled which, happens during general everyday use, the oils and waxes on the surface cause colour migration, becoming lighter in the pulled areas and darker in other areas, hence the name Pull-Up. Such signs of wear are part of the lively charm.

 Another characteristic of Pull-Up leather is that it is susceptible to scratches but these marks will gently blend in over-time adding to the unique character of the bag and developing an attractive patina. Whilst it is possible to rub out some scratches with the natural oils on your finger or thumb, most marks and creases incurred during handling become a lasting part of the product.

 A handbag made of pull-up leather lives every day, becoming more individual, softer and increasingly beautiful with each and every use. Pull-up leather is a very high quality material that comes at a price but which we think it is totally worth it.

Naturally, you will want to take care of your new Pull-Up leather bag to increase its longevity. Dust can be removed with a dry soft cloth. The leather can also be wiped gently with a slightly damp cloth but don't get the cloth too wet and don't rub too hard. We also recommend the occasional use of waxed leather protector maybe once or twice a year.

To keep this product at its best, avoid direct sun which will cause colour fade.

Avoid heat sources such as radiators which could dry out and crack the surface of the leather.

Avoid moisture, too. The oils and waxes will protect your bag to some extent from occasional light rainshowers but not a typical English downpour, so our advice would be to keep your valuable Pull-Up leather bag underneath an umbrella with yourself.

Avoid contact with products containing acetone & alcohol. Substances such as sun lotions, mosquito repellants, nail varnish remover, hairspray etc. will remove colour dye.

The Best Leather Crossbody Bags to Outsmart Pick-Pockets

When you're out and about, perhaps on the London Underground or, in town shopping or, maybe even travelling abroad on your holidays, you need to be able to keep your personal belongings safe. Every woman carries her purse in her handbag containing cash and credit cards which, makes a handbag a prime target for pick-pockets.

Most criminals are opportunists who are after an easy way to part you from your valuables. The harder it is for them, the less likely they will try.

With this in mind, we have developed our Leather Dispatch Bag with extra security measures. Not only does it have a strong metal zip across the opening but the top folds over and is fastened down with a spring clip.

A bag which has a crossbody strap is a great deterrent for most pick-pockets as it allows the bag to be carried close to your body and in front of you where you can see it.
