Genuine leather handbags are very popular today (as always). For more than a decade, they occupy the first places in the lists, because leather always looks stylish, expensive, and, moreover, are distinguished by good wear resistance and durability. However, in recent years, leatherette is also becoming in demand, because the cost of products made from it is significantly lower, and in appearance today such bags are practically not inferior to natural ones.

But if you intend to buy mens Italian leather bags which made of genuine leather, you don't want to get into a mess and make the wrong choice. Today we will try to figure out together how to distinguish a bag made of genuine leather from an artificial one and what methods may not work.

How to 100% calculate natural leather

• Emblem
Do not confuse with a tag. On products made of genuine leather, there is usually a small emblem in the form of an animal skin.

• Wrinkles
A piece of natural leather, if bent briefly and then unfolded again, quickly regains its original appearance.

• Thermal conductivity
Another point by which you can quite reliably check whether a leather bag or not. Touch the bag with your hand and hold it for 10-15 seconds. Genuine leather will be heated by your warmth, and only a fogged trace from the palm will remain on the leatherette.

• Slices
Look through the hidden seams of the bag for cuts and edges. In a handbag made of genuine leather, you will see its suede seamy side, but in leatherette there will be no such picture.

Conclusion

The appearance of the bag can also tell a lot. Natural leather products are usually produced by well-known companies. This means that they have high-quality tailoring, well-thought-out design. Also, the skin should be smooth, without creases and wrinkles, staining without defects and paint chips, even and without streaks. If you have paint on your hands after looking at the bag, this indicates a very low quality of the product.
