Choose a Bag of Artificial Leather

A bag made of artificial leather is not only reliable and stylish, but also a really practical option.

Today, that rough and smelling skin substitute has been far in the past. Modern leatherette without problems can compete in beauty with natural materials. In addition, now that the artificial skin is soft enough, it is very easy to color, which means that the demand for them is much higher, because if you need to give, for example, a light shade of natural skin - it will be much more difficult, and accordingly And the price tag of such a bag will be higher. Also, the texture of artificial leather, which is used today, allows you to simulate virtually the skin of any animal or the surface you like, for example, the cut of a tree.

So, how to choose a quality bag made of artificial leather?

Artificial leather is a material consisting of several layers and produced by applying a specially designed composition on the very basis of textiles. The quality of a bag made of artificial leather directly depends on three features:

- The quality of textiles, that is, the basis, in some cases nonwoven materials are used.

- The quality of the polymer composition applied to the substrate.

- Quality of the finishing finish (it can be grinding, varnishing, stamping, embossing, etc.).

If the artificial skin is soft to the touch and easily bendable, then it is of high quality. If the skin is bent, then on this place should not be formed cracks or large folds. With a small stretching of the material, you can find out the durability of artificial leather, if the skin is of poor quality, then you will see cracks, stretch marks or dents on the surface. Artificial leather of high quality withstands both stretching and squeezing, after a similar impact, the surface quickly returns to its original appearance.

When choosing a bag made of artificial leather it is necessary to smell it, low-quality material has a sharp smell. If the skin does not smell or has the same smell as the natural, then you have a product made from modern high-quality leather.

It is also important to make sure that the skin has been painted really well. To do this, pour a little water on the surface of the bag and after rubbing this place with a piece of light cloth. With high quality there will be absolutely no trace of paint, and what will happen with a low quality, you yourself understand.

When choosing a product from artificial leather, you need to investigate the quality of absolutely all seams, and if the lines are even and continuous, then the bag is made quality. And if the threads stick out, the seams run against each other, in different places the width of the indentation is different, then it is better to refuse the purchase.

The material from which the lining made, must be of high quality, without a sharp odor. Having touched it, you should feel a thin, but strong fabric, for example, it can be silk, nylon or kapron.

Also, you should inspect the decorative elements on the bag, the accessories must be well attached to the product, the zippers must be unfastened without the slightest delay, and the buttons can not be very tight (it can damage the material from which the product is made under strong tension).

If the decorative elements are made of metal, then they are covered, must be uniformly over the entire surface. If the product is of poor quality, then on the fittings there will be spots, stains, some areas or elements may have a different color.
