1. To choose the right size bag
When choosing a purse, size is one of the most important factors affecting the experience of using it. Everyone carries different things on a daily basis. Some people only need to fit their cell phones, wallets and keys, while others need extra space for sunglasses, umbrellas or electronic devices. For users who often need to carry cosmetics or commuting materials, the need for capacity is even greater. Usually, the length of an everyday bag should be over 24 centimeters, and if you need to carry a folder, it's best to choose a model over 30 centimeters.
At the same time, the width of the bag also determines whether the bag “can be loaded”, some seemingly small but widened design of the bag, can also provide a small storage space. Choose the right size, in order to take into account the beauty and practicality, to avoid “too big space” or “too small stuffed explosion” embarrassing situation.
2. Need to consider the weight of the bag
Considering the weight to choose the bag, 500g of the bag is preferred, 500g-1000g between the bag can be considered. Generally speaking, cowhide is heavier than sheepskin. Nylon bags, PU bags and PVC bags are all relatively lightweight.
Secondly, you also need to consider the shoulder straps of the bag, the bag should be comfortable to carry, the shoulder straps must be wide enough, and wide shoulder straps are generally used in casual sports bags. In daily life, the width of the shoulder strap of about 2cm can be balanced in the degree of comfort and collocation, and the shoulder strap that is thinner than 2cm will be easier to strangle the shoulder pain.
3. Material real of fake: How to judge whether it is real leather or artificial leather?
Real leather has a natural touch, irregular grain, and good breathability. While artificial leather, although similar in appearance, often has a plastic feel and is easy to crack or peel off after a long time. When selecting, you can observe whether the texture is natural, gently press to see whether there are subtle changes.
Generally speaking, cowhide is the first choice for bags, the advantages are delicate leather, strong and durable, and a variety of shapes. If the first layer of leather to make leather bags, will try to retain the original appearance of cowhide. And those bags that have been coated and trimmed are generally made with second-layer leather. For example, cow patent leather is generally made of two layers of leather.
4. Workmanship details: Stitching , Corners and Hardware is very critical
High-quality leather bags in the stitching is usually fine, neat, clean edge closure, hardware (such as zippers, fasteners) is sturdy and textured. Poor quality bags often loose threads or easy to rust, these details have a direct impact on durability.
5. Design practicality: Beautiful appearance, but also to be good to use
Even better looking bag, if not practical will soon be shelved. When choosing a bag, you should consider whether it has enough capacity, whether it is reasonably separated, and whether it is easy to access. Especially for work bags or commuter bags, structural design is especially important.
