What Material is the Best to Make Designer Handbags

There are so many different types of designer handbags in the market, how do you know what is the best material you want it to be made from?
To a certain extent, it all depends upon what is your intention of the handbag.
Do you want it to complement well on your outfit whatever you wear? Do you want it to store things up a little bit (or a lot) or do you just want it to be durable and use for a long time?
The most common material for designer handbags these days is leather.
Strong, highly durable and incredibly tough, leather is a perfect choice for a material.
Bearing in mind that leather also comes in a variety of different types such as cowhide, goatskin, natural, man made etc, there will always be one out there that “feels” right in your hands.
Strong and thick leather will weather well, able to shrug off raindrops and small marks and spills (dependent on the protective coatings and coloring) and will not rip or shred after repeated putting down and picking up off rough floors.
Suede also runs a close second to the leather lines, having many of the same strength and durability properties of leather. Less designer handbags are made from suede as it is a harder material to design a color or style for–although Coach specifically do a great range of colors and styles in suede handbags!
But what if you want to glam up an outfit or go for something beyond the traditional materials of leather, suede, canvas and nylon mix?
Well–you’re still spoilt for choice.
How about a seat belt bag, made from recycled seat belts in a criss cross pattern? Strong, colorful and very different.
Or the new Licence Plate handbags–made from cleaned and recycled licence plates, handbags that are literally bent into shape with hinged flaps.
Then there are evening bags, made from velvet.
Ugg handbags, made from treated sheepskin–some of which also double up as a handbag and muff!
Beijo handbags are made purely from polyvinyl–tough and incredibly easy to wipe clean.
Some of the Louis Vuitton high end bags are made from a mix of cowhide leather or canvas with ostrich leather for trim and decoration!
You can even still pick up some handbags made from crocodile skin–albeit from the pre owned market!
The choice of materials is quite mind boggling. Just about anything you can think of as a suitable material to use for building a handbag has already been done.
The only real question is–What do you want your handbag to say about you?
If you are solid, conservative and reliable–a leather handbag is your cup of tea.
If your are stylish and elegant-do not miss the seat belt bag.
If your are a little of a trend setter, not a kind of trend follower either go for design and make your own or the Licence Plate handbags.
Or just what’s looking around your house which you could have as a material?
