THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEATHER USED FOR LEATHER HANDBAGS
There are many different types of leather that are used for Handbags. Some of them are explained below:
Cowhide leather
Cowhide leather is always the best because of its long-lasting ability, strength, smoothness, elasticity, and sophisticated look. This leather is not only for best leather
women's handbags; cowhide is also commonly used for shoes, gloves, and other accessories.
Cowhide leather bags are a bit heavier.
Lambskin leather
This leather is an attractive material due to its softness. It is the hide of a young sheep. This leather is not as durable as cowhide and lambskin, which can deform easily. It is also good for lining bags.
Patch leather
Cowhide or lambskin leather patches are used. Patch leather is the most affordable option. The pieces are made of high-quality leather.
Goat leather
This leather is very common for manufacturing. It is quite soft and lightweight. The resistance of goat leather is low. Women's handbags made of goat leather look vintage and are less expensive. They stretch with aging but mostly stay for 2 to 4 years.
