Leather Purses
By Alison Cole
Leather is the tanned or dressed hide of an animal, usually without the hair or fur. The process of tanning makes the hide flexible and prevents it from decaying. Many products are made out of leather, one of them being purses. Leather purses either are handmade or made at factories using machines. The tanning process has evolved from the ancient process of skinning, which required greater thickness of the flesh off animals.
Modern process uses pelting the hair of animals with the help of lime and then fleshing and cleaning. Fat is used later to ensure pliability. There are various types of leather available in the market. The types are classified depending upon which animal it is obtained from and the finish of the hide. Moroccan leather, which is made out of goatskin, is characterized by grains that are obtained during the rubbing of the leather. Wallets and purses made out of this leather have a unique finish.
Russian leather has a unique scent and is processed with birch leaves for the bright red color. It is treated with vegetable oils to make it flexible. Glazing is another technique used to give the leather a smooth finish. Spanish leather is known to be smooth and colored with dyes. The softness of the leather enables purse makers to make purses of intricate designs.
Artificial leather is originally made from strong fabrics that are coated with synthetic material. The synthetic material that is used is vinyl polymers. These are also commonly used to make purses that are lower in cost. The costs of purses made out of original leather are much higher as the process of tanning and treating skin is expensive. Designer leather purses are exclusively made and each piece has a unique design. Leather purses play an important role in the fashion industry and there are designer stores that have purses of all styles and for all budgets on display.

Leather Handbags - Deciding Between The Different Types
There are a number of different handbags available, but the most popular ones are leather handbags. These handbags have a number of benefits that draw people to them. Not only do they hold up well, but they come in a lot of different styles, types, and colors. With so much variety anyone can find handbags of leather that match their personality.
Some of the most beloved benefits of buying leather handbags include the durability of the handbags, the attractiveness, and the variety. Leather is a very strong material that will not tear or fall apart as easily as most other handbag materials. It is a reliable material that will last you for years to come. Leather handbags have a great appeal. Whether the leather is made to be shiny or a little rugged, you can find a wonderful looking handbag that speaks to you. There are so many possibilities when it comes to leather handbags, because the leather can be dyed any color, can contain jewels, comes in both formal and informal designs, and has the ability to be very eye-catching.
If you are unsure what type of handbags to purchase, it helps to do a little research. First, start taking note of the handbags that the people around you are carrying. That way you are able to see how the handbags go with each person's style. Also, look in magazines at Hollywood stars and models to get an idea of what is most fashionable. Most magazines that feature stars will not only show formal leather handbags, but also some more casual styles.
Once you get an idea of what kind of leather handbags look the most interesting to you, start searching online. There are tons of websites that sell leather handbags. By looking online you can scroll through thousands of handbags quickly, so that you are able to select the perfect handbags to match your personal style. I recommend that you look for a casual leather handbag and a formal handbag. You may even want to select some in different colors to go with different outfits. If you decide to go with colors other than traditional black and brown, note that to be fashion-forward you do not want the color of your handbag to match the color of your outfit exactly. For example, current fashion says that if you are wearing green and brown, throw in something like a pink handbag to add more color and interest to your outfit.

A Handbag Repair Specialist for Purse Restoration
Do you a favorite handbag or tote that has seen you through plenty of occasions but just needs a bit of a facelift? A handbag repair specialist can handle everything from cosmetic cleaning and repair to serious restoration of a number of different materials from cotton and leather to nylon and other animal hides.
A handbag repair specialist is a good call, especially if your purse is worth a great deal of money or the work to restore an antique is too meticulous to handle on your own. Be sure to seek a professional through references from other people or research a few possibilities through the local Chamber of Commerce and Better Business Bureau.
Cleaning your Bag
Cleaning a hand bag or purse must be performed by hand by a skilled artisan who is trained in a variety of materials like suede and leather as well as a whole host of other possibilities. The best place to look for a handbag repair specialist, especially if it is leather, is a local shoe repair company.
The person restoring your handbag to its original glory should be well-versed in a variety of materials as well as how to clean them. Stain removal, cleaning the lining by hand as well as the hardware and straps and even a dye job if necessary should be in all a day’s work for a handbag repair specialist. Indeed, steam cleaning and even stain protectant should be part of the cleaning process for purses and other bags.
Restoring your Bag
There are occasions where it would be necessary to enlist the help of a handbag repair specialist to do a complete restoration on a purse or other bag. If you have a leather purse, perhaps the stitching is loose or completely undone or maybe you have scratches on it. A handbag repair specialist is also trained to replace the hardware of the purse or bag as necessary like zippers, clasps, button enclosures, snaps and more.
Occasionally a handbag repair specialist is called upon for intricate detailing work such as replacing the crystals on an antique purse or sequins on an evening clutch. Of course, because this work is more meticulous and time consuming, expect the fees of the handbag repair specialist to be higher than a simple cleaning.
All in all, a handbag repair specialist can bring new life to a tired old handbag or purse, something you probably could not do on your own. Once you do have your bag fixed, you want to take extra precautions in terms of storage to ensure that it stays in prime condition. The most important piece of advice a handbag repair specialist can give is to place the purse or bag in a fabric breathable container rather than plastic so that it has some breathing room while still being protected by dust and moisture.
