SYNTHETIC BAGS
Synthetic material is constantly being used by all of us, but what does synthetic mean to you? Synthetic material is not a natural fibre or to put it more simply, synthetic material is often called “plastic or vinyl.” It is produced using a combination of artificial chemical particles that have not come from either animals or plants, and manufacturers offer this product as a second alternative to leather to make goods such as bags, wallets, belts and small accessories. This synthetic material is cheaper than leather but less resistant, but that doesn’t mean that the merchandise is not as attractive. There are a lot of fashion stores that sell synthetic products and customers love it. In fact, these items that are sold from fashion stores, are identical to the ones from high end designer brands and often you cannot tell which products are real leather and which are synthetic.
Sometimes the real leather can look synthetic, for example a patent shiny leather can be tricky to evaluate. Patent leather often does not actually smell of leather. Then there is the other side of the coin where a synthetic leather has been so cleverly crafted and finished, you really would think it is the genuine article. I have to admit I don’t like the smell of plastic. Given a choice I would pick leather every time because essentially I believe that famous phrase that says “you get what you pay for .” However I must admit if you are not a leather specialist or the merchandise doesn’t say it, it can be difficult to tell.

Synthetic bags versus real leather bags is always going to be a big debating point. Depending on your budget and ecological preferences, it just comes down to a personal choice. The way you wear your bag, whatever the material, it is going to look great as long as you accessorize and colour coordinate with style.
