Bags made with real leather are a class bit rather than those of faux. Whenever you purchase a leather bag, make sure to not get fooled by its appearance and texture. With the growing technology and production developments, it becomes difficult to spot the difference between real and fake leather. While the original leather bags are a symbol of persona and status, fake ones reflect tackiness.

Here are top 5 tricks to identify the difference between a Real Leather Backpack and a fake one to save you from cheat:

Same as human skin, real leather is springy and changes its colour when you stretch it. You will observe crinkly patterns coming and disappearing once you release. Scrape it with your nail, genuine leather will regain its originality. On the other hand fake leather will remain unaffected and will maintain its stiffness and shape.

A Real leather Backpack will soak up the moisture and water easily in few seconds’ on the contrary fake leather will never absorb water and it will stay on it.  

If you have tried wrinkle and water test and still not satisfied you may perform burning test, although we do not recommend doing this, but it is just an originality test. Once you bring a part of leather bag over burning matchstick you will feel fleshy pongs and the bag will not catch fire. Whereas artificial leather will burn with a flame and causes smell of a burning plastic.

Checking the label is quite obvious and a foremost thing to be done while buying Leather Handbags Online or from a store in person. If you find “100% real leather”, “full/top grain leather or “genuine leather” written on it, you have made the right choice. Whereas a fake one will say “man-made material or in some cases it doesn’t say anything. Hence, it is highly recommended to check label before investing in an expensive bag.

Zippers and belts are additional accessories that add grandeur to a leather bag. Even and sleek zipper is an ideal token of the originality of leather while a hard struggling zipper signifies it’s fake.

Overall, it can be said that the look of a real leather backpack is straight, structured and sturdier. The faux leather bag will not stay straight, structured and will get a folded look. So, before buying a leather bag next time, examine the quality based on the above five points.

1.   Type of  Leather Used

2.   LINING & FINISHING

3.     Country of Origin & Making

If you don’t think this should be a quality factor, then you barely know about the leather bags. There are some countries like Italy, England, France and the US producing good quality leather with a good track record of tanning leather.

But nowadays you need to pay more attention, especially with the tags and labels.  For example, there are many companies that produce their leather in other country and get the finishing done in Italy for capitalising on the reputation of Italy made bags.

You should check premium leather handbags online and check the selection of leather and tanning.  A good product has detailing and uniqueness with every other piece.

• Buckles
• Handles
• Locks
• Metallic rings
• Shoulder strap fittings

5.     Durability & Handwork

There are two things to check durability of a leather bag.

a.       A careful selection of leather

b.       Good stretching

A good bag can carry a certain weight and can move around without any trouble and affecting the life of bag.  That’s why full grain leather is advised for a handbag but if you looking something affordable and then top grain leather is the best alternative for this.

It’s important that you check inner and outer surface for good stitching. A good stitching should have consistency and barely noticeable without any loose thread.       

6.     Handles & Straps

The handle should feel comfortable in hand because it’s your first contact with the bag. This should be fabricated with multiple layer of leather so it won’t feel hollow.

Handle should not be very long because this will increase the stress to the bags focal point.

The most important thing to notice in handles and straps is how they are attached with the bags. If they are stitched, then there should be an extra layer of stitching where straps meet the bag.

7.     Colour

Selection of the colours in leather bag more depends on which type of environment you are taking them in.

For example, if you work in a professional environment then Black and dark brown colours are the best for you. But if you like your surrounding more casual and relaxed then tan and light brown colour is your cup of tea.

Buying a bag with more than two colour or bag with bold colour stitching is not a good option because they are seen as flamboyant. Single colour bags are the safest selection.

8.     Statement

The most important thing is the design of your bag because your bag says a lot about your personality. It should make a statement wherever you carry it.

About Price

The price is never a good quality measure for a leather bag. Because there are many brands selling low quality bags on high price just because of their name.

So don’t be fooled with the name of the brand. When buying a bag check for the premium quality leather and compare prices for same quality and buy the one you find affordable.

Since they just started their online store, so prices are extremely low and affordable as per the quality of purse and handbags.
