It's Breathable

This might sound like a vague argument, but leather is a fabric that breathes well. Leather is a natural material that lets your skin breathe when you wear it, rather than trapping sweat inside. This is why real leather shoes feel much better than other synthetic materials, and why you feel far less sweaty and nasty in a real leather coat than in a fake one. Real leather is amazingly practical, but also beautiful and stylish, and the quality and luxury it puts across can never be replaced by synthetic imitations!

Flexibility

With all the talk about leather being tough and unbreakable, one might begin to think that leather is similar to rock or wood. But that’s obviously not the case. With time, leather becomes more and more flexible while keeping its shape and strength. Being flexible makes leather only greater, as it moulds to its owners lifestyle, shape and way of use.

Beauty

By its very nature, leather comes in a wide range of pleasing textures and surface patterns. It also takes well to a variety of finishing processes, designs and color applications

Style

Leather never goes out of style. Leather is a very elegant material and it is a fabric that has been used by humans to make clothes and accessories, long before the fashion industry as we know it appeared. It has been in all eras, by pretty much every culture and they knew why they were choosing it. Leather is a great material that protects the human body or goods; it is comfortable and long-lasting.

It Ages Well

Leather does stretch, get creases in it, fade and texturize as it ages – and that just makes it look better. Your comfortable leather boots that have molded themselves to your body, your vintage leather purse or wallet that has the markings of years of use but shows no signs of falling apart.

Mouldability

Leather can be moulded and will retain its new shape. It has both elastic and plastic properties in wear.Leather fibres will hold large quantities of water vapour. This property enables leather to absorb perspiration, which is later dissipated. A significant factor in comfort.

Resistance to fire

Leather is inherently resistant to heat and flame.

Resistance to fungi

Leather is resistant to fungus.

Resistance to chemical attack

The atmosphere of modern cities is polluted from the burning of carbon fuels with sulphur dioxide gas, which can accelerate the deterioration of leather. Modern leathers are tanned and dressed to resist these harmful chemicals.

Durability

Leather is an extremely durable material. Generally, leather manufacturers try to make the best from their leather and to treat it in a way that will make it more resistant and durable, you can always be sure that they will last years and look just as good.

Leather doesn’t cost much

When we tell people that leather is inexpensive they generally will say “right” with an ironic tone in their voice. But leather is truly not expensive. It is true that leather products cost more than products made from synthetic or other fabrics, but they last so much longer that the cost/wear ratio is extremely small. For example if you buy a leather wallet for 600, but you will use it for the next 6 years, it means that it costs you only 60/year. From experience, we can tell you that some leather bags/jerkins or other types of leather goods can very well last more than 10 years.

It is eco-friendly

Not only is leather natural and therefore no chemicals were used in the making of it. Even though leather is chemically treated, it does not compare to the amount of chemicals used for producing synthetic goods. In a world where fashion is often accused of not being environmental-friendly, owning leather goods is just a way to be both eco-friendly and stylish.
