6. Cost When you weigh up the advantages of Leather over synthetic. A faux leather handbag may cost you significantly less upfront, but you’ll probably have to replace it in a year. Spending more money initially on a Real Leather, high-quality handbag; that handbag will last decades if cared for correctly and in the long run, cost you for less. That’s what we call value for money. Faux Leather Handbag, How To Run Longer, Weigh, Spending, Synthetic, Call

5. Flexibility Leather is durable, but that doesn’t mean rock hard. Yes, you can make some leathers to be pretty solid for certain uses. As you use your leathercraft, it will soften and become more flexible yet will retain it’s strength and shape. The Waxy Pull Up leather we use at DD Practical will also develop an extraordinary patina as you use it. Waxy, Extraordinary, Flexibility, Strength, Rock, Shape

4. Longevity Unlike other fibres, leather fibres are intertwined so fine and compact that just 1g of leather can contain a whopping 300 square metres of surface (the interior). This results in high resistance to extreme temperatures, stretching, bending, tearing and ageing. It also has epic breathability qualities; allowing it to absorb moisture on the inside and expel it to the outside. Its synthetic counterparts could never live up to these specifications.

3. Eco-Friendly You’re probably thinking, no way! Leather is a by-product of slaughtering animals for food! Yes, you’re correct, but it is far more ‘green’ than chemically manufactured synthetic fibres. The manufacture of synthetic fibres contributes to the pollution of our air. There are some companies that use chemicals to treat their hides, but the industry quantities are far less than that of synthetic manufacturing. And guess what? Leather is also bio-degradable.

Leathercraft has been around for more than 70 centuries. That’s got to tell you something; it’s a timeless tradition. Yes, you can purchase a synthetic version of something for half or a third of the cost of its leather counterpart but I guarantee you, it will not bear the same properties as the real thing. So why is that? There are many reasons, but let’s look at our Top 8 reasons. Third, Reasons, Version
