Hello everyone, I am the former factory manager of Galan Leather Goods. Many people struggle when buying bags: PU, synthetic leather, or genuine leather? Today, I will clarify it all at once. Choose according to your needs and avoid wasting money.

01.

Characteristics and suitable crowd of PU leather (synthetic leather)

First, let’s talk about PU leather, also known as synthetic leather. Its advantages include a wide range of styles, bright colors, affordability, and good waterproofing and manageability. However, its disadvantages are also obvious: it is not breathable, prone to aging, and will crack and peel after one or two years of use. It is suitable for temporary use and those who pursue style.

Classification and characteristics of genuine leather

Genuine leather is divided into top leather and split leather. Top leather is soft, durable, and breathable, becoming more attractive with use and lasting for three to five years. It has a high-quality feel and is suitable for long-term use, branding, and quality assurance. Split leather is moderately priced but has a coating on the surface, which can easily peel off with prolonged use.

Selection Criteria

Limited budget, only considering style → PU leather

Pursuing cost-effectiveness, short-term use → Split leather

Seeking texture, durability, and long-term use → Full-grain leather

E-commerce, physical stores, brand orders → Full-grain leather (high repeat purchase)

We, Jialin, have been focusing on genuine leather goods for 20 years, capable of producing top-grain, split, and special materials, but we never deceive our customers. Tell us what material it is, and let’s consume and do business in a clear and honest way.

Don’t follow the trend when buying a bag, what matters most is that it suits you. Follow me, and I’ll teach you to understand leather goods better and spend less money unnecessarily.
