4 MYTHS ABOUT LEATHER YOU SHOULDN'T BE BELIEVING

The art of making leather started about 7,000 years ago and has now set its roots in the industry as one of the biggest and oldest manufacturing sectors. With the leather industry being in action for so long, there are a number of myths and misconceptions associated with leather and leather products by the masses. These myths make some people skeptical in making the decision of buying a leather product.

Working in the leather industry for more than 20 years, who would know about the leather industry more than The Leather Craft.

Here’s a blog to wash out some of the misconceptions you might have about leather so that you can get your hands on your favourite leather products confidently.

Myth No.1. Price of leather decides its lifetime and durability:

Most people think that you usually get what you pay for. Well this might be true for other clothing materials but not when it comes to leather . The quality of the leather is not the only determinant of its price. There are a number of other factors too that account for the price of a leather product. Starting from the manufacturing process to tanning, procedures and designing, each step adds on some amount to the price of the final product. Other than that, the middlemen for the distribution of the products also charges their portion and that eventually increases the retail price.

Myth No.2. Leather is hard to clean:

Since a leather jacket purchase is equivalent to an investment, people worry about maintaining it and find it a difficult task to do. This myth has made leather cleaning sound like a hassle most people don’t want to get into so they end up not buying leather products.

Speaking of the truth, it is not difficult at all. In fact, it is as easy as your everyday laundry.

The best way to keep your leather clean without damaging it is to clean it with a conditioner. You may also use a damp cloth to clear away any dirt but avoid using any detergents or soaps since it might fade the colour of the product. If you need to remove greasiness or oil from your leather, try using some talcum powder or baking soda. Sprinkle a small amount of either, let it absorb and then wipe out.

Myth No.3. Keep your Leather away from water:

This myth is false since water will not bring any fatal damage to your leather. Genuine leather has the ability to absorb water. The general advice is to keep the contact minimal so that the shine of your leather does not fade away. In case your leather gets wet just use a dry cloth and dry it out.

Myth No.4. Leather does not last long:

If there are some words that are most rightfully associated with leather, then those have to be timeless and long-lasting.

Real leather products are stretchy and flexible. The rugged style of leather makes it more sustainable as compared to other materials that might tumbledown because of fragility. For years, leather has been known to be an investment because it is promised to last long so that you can wear it as much as you want.

Conclusion:

One thing we all can agree upon is that leather is something that stands out when it comes to being visually appealing and being comfortable as well. Be it leather apparels or other leather products, they are meant to be long lasting and high quality. If you ask a fashionista about a product that makes them look extraordinarily stylish and is yet very comfortable to wear, they would end up suggesting you buy a leather jacket.

The popularity of leather jackets also brought some misconceptions and myths to get associated with it but don’t get confused and trust us because not to brag, but we’ve been doing it for more than 20 years now.
