Eco-leather and products from it - bags, jackets ...

Artificial substitutes for natural materials have long and firmly entered our life. This is not surprising, because everything that is natural and of high quality cannot be cheap and there will not be enough natural materials for everyone, and besides, the resources of our planet are not unlimited. Therefore, if we love nature and want to preserve the planet for posterity, we must think about using substitutes and save resources.

Eco-leather is one of such substitutes; it may well replace natural leather. Bags, jackets made of eco-leather, as well as sofas and armchairs, often look no worse than products made of genuine leatherand in some cases even better. Eco-leather is such a material that gives more room for the imagination of designers, because eco-leather is not tied to size and shape, like natural leather.

Properties
Eco-leather is safe, there are no harmful substances in its composition, and during the operation of eco-leather, it does not emit substances hazardous to health.

For those who suffer from allergies, it will be useful to know that eco-leather has high hypoallergenic properties - it does not provoke irritation, has no smell, unlike polyvinyl chloride from which other leatherette is made. In addition, the structure of the material has a high coefficient of air permeability, so it is hygroscopic and does not create a greenhouse effect. Eco-leather does not overheat in the sun and does not harden in the cold, it is always pleasant and warm to the touch.

Features and advantages of eco-leather
1. The surface texture accurately imitates natural leather.
2. High resistance to abrasion and tearing - comparable to the best samples of genuine leather.
3. High tactile properties - soft to the touch, elasticity.
4. Environmentally friendly in composition - the composition does not include toxic substances, cotton base, natural leather, polyurethane coating - materials that do not cause allergies.
5. Frost-resistant - an important quality in the natural conditions of Russia, where winter lasts for a very long time.
6. Ease of cleaning eco-leather products.

All of the above qualities provide products made from eco-leather, ecological cleanliness when used, therefore this material is called eco-leather.

And high wear resistance and ease of maintenance ensure a long service life of bags and jackets made of eco-leather.

Manufacturing and materials
The basis of eco-leather is cotton fabric, which gives softness and hygiene, while it is strong enough to tear and stretch. The composition of eco-leather includes natural leather, as well as artificial materials based on cellulose, then a polyurethane coating is applied.

Eco-leather does not have the flaws inherent in natural leather - uneven thickness, quality of manufacture and texture.

Fashionable women's bags made of eco-leather even surpass bags made of genuine leather in some respects, although they are cheaper.

Caring for bags, eco-leather jackets
Despite its high wear resistance, eco-leather requires the same care as natural leather. In case of contamination, the surface should be cleaned as soon as possible with a damp soft cloth, light movements, then be sure to wipe dry. The faster the eco-leather is cleaned, the less likely it is that contamination will be absorbed into the material. If it was not possible to clean the product immediately, it is allowed to use 40-50% alcohol solution, and you can also use vodka or ammonia.

Various stubborn organic stains are removed with genuine leather cleaners according to their instructions for use.In order to increase the service life and improve the appearance of the product, we recommend periodically treating eco-leather with water-repellent impregnations for natural leather. Processing with special impregnations is more relevant for light colors - snow-white, ivory, beige, because they get dirty and lose their appearance much faster.

conclusions
Eco-leather is a modern material that can replace natural leather. Bags and jackets made of eco-leather are no worse, unless some people may have unpleasant sensations associated with the fact that eco-leather in any case, despite all its advantages, is leatherette, and leatherette in the minds of some is a clear sign of poverty and self-dislike ...

If your artificial materials do not cause such associations, feel free to choose eco-leather, get beautiful and practical products at a lower cost.

For animal advocates and vegetarians, eco-leather can also be an excellent solution, although buying jackets and bags from eco-leather you do not save the lives of animals, because domestic animals - sheep, goats, cows in any case will be raised and killed only because of the weight. In addition, I will reveal a secret - in many regions, when pets are slaughtered, the skins are thrown away and disappear, since there is nowhere to hand them over for processing. Therefore, buying eco-leather, you will not save the lives of animals, but you can find your own peace of mind that you personally are not involved in the cruel treatment of smaller brothers.

Finally, I want to say - when buying a jacket or bag made of eco-leather, try to make sure that the products are actually made from eco-leather, because now many stores are trying to give out leatherette, created on the basis of harmful components, for eco-leather.
