HOW CAN BE ONE GETS TO BE A LEATHER ADDICT?

One can easily say he is hooked on leather goods. Then again, How can one be? Instincts made me dig deep. Deep as hundreds of years back BC. It was the basic need of our forefathers. A lot of us, may think of “leaves as Malakas and Maganda” cracked out of the bamboo. But amazingly LEATHER or the clothing that came from animal skin was also “fashionably in”. The early inhabitants made use of LEATHER as significantly as noticeably printed in our history books, encyclopedia and online sites. It is imprinted in our genes pass on from early civilization to the current, making us the present LEATHER addicts. From footwear, jackets and wallets, belts and bags. Our country has experience Leather's popularity back in 1903. But before its fame it has to go through a process and from there a group was formed.

How to Take Care of Your Leather Bag

1. Keep your leather bags in a cool dry place. Keep them away from children. You don’t want crayons on them.

2. You can purchase canned spray for waterproofing your bag. Moist and other liquids would really ruin the leather. Spray it a day before using the bag.

3. You can also pack your bags in special pouches if they are not in use. It protects your bags from dust and other external matters.

4. A clean dry cloth could be used just to give it a quick wipe and polish.

5. Use the right bag at the right time. (i.e. don’t bring your precious leather bag for camping)

How to distinguish an authentic leather bag

1. For people who wants to own an original leather bag, You seek advice from experts or ask your friend who is into leather goods to help you in purchasing a good one.

2. Look at the price. If it’s cheap, and it’s too good to be true, then you’re probably looking at a fake one.

3. Use your senses. Your bag must look, smell and feel like an authentic one. The leather is grainy, not smooth. The look is not shiny but gives a nice reflection in the light. It should smell like heaven (the shopaholics knows what I’m saying)

4. Buy from a reputable store. The Tannery Manila @ Tiendesitas is a reputable store that sells authentic leather bags that are locally made.
