Handbags

Handbags made of Saffiano leather

The so-called Saffiano leather is not a special type of leather, but a special surface treatment. Characteristic is the cross-hatching pattern with diagonal lines. This is pressed into the wax coating of the leather and brings out a subtle shine. Saffiano leather is form-stable and water-repellent. Thanks to a protective wax layer, the leather handbags made of Saffiano are more resistant to stains and scratches than other models. Light dirt can be wiped off with a damp cloth.

Quilted handbags

"Quilting" means sewing together mostly three layers of fabric and is mainly used for bed covers (quilts). The characteristic pattern created during quilting is also very popular in the fashion world due to its aesthetic appearance. Many brands offer different quilting patterns, ranging from diagonal lines and the so-called diamond quilt to logo quiltings. Quilted handbags are often equipped with chain straps.

Leather handbags with animal embossing

"Embossing" means in a leather industry, the pressing or rolling on of a new grain pattern. Crocodile, snake and ostrich styles are among the most popular patterns in the fashion industry. The look of these leather handbags varies between extravagance and elegance.

Five things to look for when buying a new handbag:

• Edge Paint: The term "Edge Paint" is used in the manufacture of leather handbags to describe the application of an extra coating to the cut edge. This coating serves as protection against dirt and penetration of moisture. Sometimes it is coloured for aesthetic reasons to emphasize the contours of the handbag and to set visual highlights.
• Seams: High-quality models have straight, clean seams that are adequately stitched – the standard case by designer handbags! Especially shoulder straps and handles should be double stitched and connected to the bag body by a solid fastening or riveting or reinforcing leather flaps to prevent tearing and rapid abrasion.
• Lining: The lining of a high-quality handbag should be expertly worked in and not show any tension at all. Constant use makes the inner lining strained. If it is incorrectly worked in, it tends to tear, especially at the seams. Designer handbags are lined with a robust, easy-care material. If you are interested in leather handbags with a laptop compartment, make sure that the gadget pocket is well padded.
• Closures: Zippers must open and close equally well without getting stuck when tested several times. Make sure that the sliding handle is stable. Soft materials such as sheet steel or aluminium tend to bend over time.
• Feet / Patches: Metal feet or sewn-on patches protect the bottom of the bag and provide stability when you put your handbag down. Medium-sized models are equipped with four feet or patches on each corner. Spacious handbags have an extra foot or patch in the middle.
