What To Consider When Buying Faux Leather Handbags

By Marsha Klein


There is increasing demand for faux leather handbags. They are available in a range of designs and are generally very affordably priced although some of the designer brands can almost be as expensive as their real hide counterparts. They are not always easily distinguishable from each other.

Faux leather it is an artificial material, also known as leatherette, that has been created as an alternative to the real thing. These artificial reproductions have some significant advantages over real hides that make them very popular among consumers. In fact, it is a very successful invention that can be found not just in bags but in the production of shoes, clothing and furniture as well.

Perhaps the leading advantage that has led to the success of this material other than its appearance of animal hide is the cost factor. It is just so much cheaper and products made of this substitute can work out as a whopping seventy five percent cheaper than rawhide. This advantage is particularly useful in high fashion items and the transitory nature of fashion in general. Bags may only last a season in fashion before it put aside as out of date. If the material was not too expensive, the loss is thus reduced.

Another highly saleable factor about this material is the very fact that it is a artificial man made product. At first it was vegetarians and animal rights campaigners that were against real hides in the market place. However, consumers in general are growing more and more conscientious and are turning away from product that involves the slaughter of animals. However, it should be noted that most genuine hide is a by product of the meat industry.

Large bags are the latest in handbag fashion. This can be very expensive if you are to rely only on genuine material. However with leatherette you can have beautiful large bags are at an affordable price. They come in all designs and incorporate other materials too such as ribbon and rope for bows and ties and also polished metals for buckles.

The versatility of this material in the making of bags cannot be over emphasized. The nature of it is that it can be dyed to any color at all and the color is retained for the lifespan of the article without ever fading. Even the most luminous cyan or magenta shoes and dresses can have a matching bag of the same color. The material is extremely pliable as well and can be moulded into the most creative designs imaginable.

Perhaps it is a legitimate argument that the artificial material does not have the lifespan of genuine materials but mostly is boils down to the use and care of the said material. Leatherette can last for several years if it is not overused and is stored in favorable conditions. Fortunately, those conditions exist in most home where it should be neither too dry nor too humid.

Faux leather handbags are definitely an alternative that any fashion conscious woman should consider. They offer many advantages and there is always a wide variety to choose from at affordable prices.
