When you are buying a handmade leather handbag you must examine leather, straps, attachment points, stitching and design.

1. Handmade leather bags

2. Why are handmade leather handbags
different?
Handmade leather bags are different from the ones made
entirely with the help of machines. Since they are made
manually, utmost care is taken to ensure the product is
designed to the perfection. If you are buying a bag, examine
some critical features.

3. Material
Have a close look at the
texture of the leather.
Surface of a real hide is not
perfectly smooth due to
presence of hair on
mammals’ skin. If you find
the surface too smooth
make sure you verify that
authenticity of the material.

4. Strap attachment is critical to the safety of the item(s) you
carry in your leather handbag. Check whether the strap is
riveted well and stitched properly.

5. Straps
Straps also have to be strong. Besides,
they should also be flexible as they are
subject to lots of twisting and turning.

6. Stitching
There cannot be worse than when stitching of a
leather bag comes off while rest of the product is
completely fine. Stitching is as important as the
leather. So be particular about it.

7. Design
This is something that no be judged by a personal perspective.
Choose a design that goes well with your personality and types of
apparels you wear.
