How to choose a leather bag?

Strolling through a store and scanning through the shelves, you might find out many pieces in many stores which will not let your eyes move away. The problem is when you believe in the price tag and don’t know actually what are you buying. It is as important to know what are you actually buying, as important it is to know that where is your money going.

Here at Camalee, we believe that just providing our customers with our products is not enough. We want our customers to be fully aware of what they are buying from us. Not that we want to sell them our stuff, but we want to educate them about the possibilities.

There are three basic categories in which leather goods fall. The first category that you have read many times punched in the back of your belts or leather wallets. This one says ‘ genuine leather’. To your surprise, this is the third grade quality of leather. Out of the three, this is most treated and altered part of the leather. You can also say that in a way it is left over leather when other parts have been taken for use. This is comparatively cheap. At not as sustainable as the premium quality leather would be.

Then comes top grain leather is defined as the type of leather in which the top layer or the top grains of the leather are removed by the process of sanding. This is done to give the leather a uniform look.

Now full grain leather is the one in which you can see the natural marking of the hide. The scars and tears of wounds are visible. No alteration except for removing hair has been made. This type of leather has not been treated by any harsh chemical reactions too. Precisely, this is organic leather.

So, how will you choose a bag for yourself? You should know which texture of a bag do you prefer. The premium leather which is used by Camalee is mostly top grain leather. Top grain leather is easily dyed, it is comfortable and lighter in weight. Full grain leather is raw and hard. It is very porous and it is near impossible to remove a stain from this leather. And easily gets affected by sunlight.

Top grain leather has been polished and certain waxes have been developed that can help your bag be less absorbent and stays protected from heat and light.
