1. Genuine leather
What is the

and furniture.
Leather type:
The advantage for the leather：
❶ Naturalness
❷ Durability
❸ Elegance
❹ Timelessness
❺ Maintains its quality over time
❻ Abrasion resistant
❼ Flexibility
2. Microfiber
What is the
microfiber?
The microfiber leather (or
microfiber leather or microfiber leather) is the abbreviation of microfiber PU
(polyurethane) synthetic (faux) leather. Microfiber leather fabric is one type
of synthetic leather, this material is microfiber non-woven fabric
coating with a layer of high performance PU (polyurethane) resins.
The advantage
of the microfiber leather:
Microfiber
leather or real leather?
1. Microfiber leather is high-class synthetic leather
which perfectly replicates features of real leather such as the handfeeling,
breathability and moisture absorption etc.
2. The performance of microfiber including chemical and
abrasion resistance, anti-crease, aging resistance etc are better than genuine
leather.
3. Because the real leather is animal skin, so it has a
strange smell. If the formaldehyde and heavy metals exceed the standards in the
production process, usually the real leather would has a pungent odour.
However, the microfiber is anti-odour.
3. Based on the quality distribution on natural hide, the
amount of usable leather is about 60 to 80% only. However, the microfiber is
not limited by this, it is produced in roll form, also the quality of
microfiber is very stable.
3.PU Leather
What is the
PU leather?
PU leather is a
material intended to substitute for leather in
upholstery, clothing, footwear, and other uses where a leather-like finish is
desired but the actual material is cost-prohibitive or unsuitable. Artificial
leather is marketed under many names, including "leatherette",
"faux leather"and "vegan leather"
What is the
difference between the real leather?
Most of leather products have a label on them explaining
which kind of leather or which materials are used. In case of uncertainty there
are a lot of factors that actually differentiate both. You can tell that quite
easily right away just by looking at them. Here are some of the most obvious
factors when it comes to telling the difference between genuine leather and pu
leather.
Microfiber
leather or PU leather?
1. The price difference. The general price range of
ordinary PU in the market is lower than microfiber leather.
2. The performance of the surface layer is different.
Although the surface layers of both microfiber and the ordinary PU are
polyurethane resins, but the ordinary PU that has been popular for many years,
so ordinary PU has much more colors and styles than the microfiber leather. On
the other hand, generally speaking, the polyurethane resin of microfiber
leather has stronger abrasion resistance, acid and alkali resistance,
hydrolysis resistance than the ordinary PU, also the color fastness and texture
are better than ordinary PU.
3. The base material is different. Ordinary PU is with
knitted fabric or woven fabric or non-woven fabric as the base fabric, then
coated with polyurethane resin. The microfiber leather is with a
three-dimensional structure of microfiber nonwoven fabric as the base fabric,
then coated with high-performance polyurethane resin.
4. Different performance. Microfiber leather is much better
than ordinary PU in terms of abarasion resistance, moisture absorption, comfort
and other performance indicators etc.
4.Nylon
What is the
Nylon?
Nylon is a generic designation for a family
of synthetic polymers, based on aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamides,is a
thermoplastic silky material that can be melt-processed into fibers, films, or
shapes.
5. Canvas
What is
canvas?
Modern canvas is usually made of cotton or linen, along
with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Canvas comes in two basic types: plain and duck.
It is an extremely durable plain-woven fabric used for
making sails, tents, marquees, backpacks, and other items for which sturdiness
is required, as well as in such fashion objects as handbags, electronic device
cases, and shoes.
6. PVC
What is PVC ?
Polyvinyl chloride (AKA PVC or
vinyl) is a solid plastic made from vinyl chloride gas. PVC can be hard and
rigid, or it can be extremely flexible. Its flexibility depends on whether or
not phthalates are added during production. Because it's water-resistant and
durable, PVC is used in a lot of different products, including flooring,
wall decals, pipes, medical equipment, and of course clothing.
7. Denim
What is
denim?
Denim is a sturdy cotton warp-faced textile in which the
weft passes under two or more warp threads. This twill weaving produces a
diagonal ribbing that distinguishes it from cotton duck.
Though originally used in
workwear or jeans, is now also quite popular with bags since it creates a
stone-washed effect that many designers like to use.
8. Straw
What is
straw?
Straw is one of the oldest materials for bag making and
is more commonly used today for beach bags like totes or crossbody bags. It can
be woven into the bags for a timeless look that’s also easy to clean.
9. Mesh
What is Mesh?
Mesh fabric is mostly made of nylon or polyester and is
a lightweight, thin, and strong material that can be made in a variety of
styles depending on the bag.
