Learn about their benefits and how the earthy tones of these bags can enhance your style this season, adding that magic touch of elegance and sophistication to your looks!

Why are patent leather bags commonly known as PU bags?

Firstly, and to clear up any doubts, the name PU bags to refer to faux leather bags is due to the material composition of these accessories. PU is short for polyurethane, a polymer used to create a synthetic version of leather known as leatherette or PU leather. 

This material offers a vegan and cost effective alternative to traditional leather, while maintaining an attractive look and feel. PU bags are durable, hard-wearing and easy to maintain, making them popular in the fashion industry. They are also waterproof and lightweight, adding to their practicality and versatility for everyday use.

Essentially, earth tones are a range of warm hues that capture the essence of nature. Ranging from rich browns to soft beiges, vibrant terracottas, subtle ochres, elegant camels and serene olive greens, these tones blend harmoniously with the winter environment to create a unique sense of warmth and comfort.

Below, we take a closer look at why these colours are the ideal choice for leatherette bags in your winter outfits. Their ability to integrate seamlessly with winter fashion is undeniable:

  1. They complement the winter colour palette: earthy tones work naturally with typical winter colours such as grey, dark blue or black to create a cohesive and stylish look.
  2. They add visual warmth and a sense of comfort: Choosing accessories such as leatherette bags in earthy tones will add comfort to any outfit.
  3. They are a seasonal trend: according to autumn-winter fashion trends, earth tones are always back between autumn and winter. This ensures that your bag will be a fashion accessory for seasons to come.
  4. They work with a variety of styles: whether you prefer a casual look for everyday wear or a more formal look for special occasions, earth-tone leatherette bags offer incredible versatility. Their ability to adapt to different styles makes them a functional choice.

Differences between faux leather bags and natural leather bags

So when it comes to choosing between faux leather bags (PU bags) and natural leather bags, there are some key differences to consider:

  • Material and production: While faux leather bags are made from polyurethane, a type of plastic (as mentioned above), natural leather bags are made from real leather, which comes from animals. Therefore, faux leather bags, which are synthetic products, are the preferred choice for those looking for cruelty-free alternatives. 
  • Appearance and texture: Artificial leather bags have greatly improved in appearance and texture, approaching the quality of natural leather. However, the natural grain pattern cannot be fully replicated by synthetic materials.
  • Care and maintenance: Artificial leather bags are easier to care for and clean as they are water resistant and do not stain easily. In contrast, natural leather bags require more specific care, including conditioners and special cleaning products to maintain their quality and appearance.
  • Cost and accessibility: In terms of price, faux leather bags are often significantly cheaper than natural leather bags, offering an affordable option without compromising on style.

Advantages of PU bags over other materials

But what if we compare PU bags with other materials? For example, nylon bags or bast bags. Let’s take a look at the advantages of these bag options: 

  • Durability: Unlike nylon or other synthetic materials, leatherette bags are remarkably durable, withstanding daily wear and tear better. Their structure is less likely to deteriorate, so they retain their appearance for longer.
  • Versatility: Compared to natural materials such as cotton or bast, PU bags offer greater design versatility. They allow for a wide range of finishes, from matt to gloss, and can be dyed in a variety of colours to suit different styles and preferences.
  • Resistance: Typically, faux leather bags are highly resistant to adverse weather conditions. They are usually waterproof and will not be damaged by sunlight, making them ideal for all environments and situations.
