Handmade leather bags: how to recognize them [second part]

It's a small risk but with Trial by Fire you can't go wrong
If your distrust is high and you haven't yet managed to verify that your bag is made of genuine leather, the fire test won't lie. Be aware that with this technique you can cause a small damage to the bag but if it is genuine leather it will be worth it. In fact, bringing a small flame close to a faux leather bag will start to produce bubbles and an unbearable smell of plastic while a genuine leather bag will change color and wrinkle slightly but without giving you the impression that a plastic object is going to fire.

No leather bags are alike
This is one of the most prestigious characteristics of genuine leather because it is what makes bags unique and unrepeatable. If the faux leather bags will all be exactly the same because they are mass produced, the genuine leather bags will never be the same because of the real leather with which they are made there is no exactly identical duplicate in the world. Color diversity, uneven pores and small defects are what define the value of a leather bag handmade by the expert craftsmen who populate our splendid Italian territory.

Genuine leather acquires prestige over time
That's right, one of the most important characteristics of leather bags and in general of handcrafted accessories with this material acquire great value over time. Unlike imitation leather which tends to break in a short time, literally splitting, real leather is not made of fabric fibers but rather animal fibers and has the peculiarity of resisting any type of mechanical stress over time, acquiring a vintage and unique look,which makes them more and more beautiful with each use.

Finally, the price won't lie to you
If one day some seller will offer you a low-cost bag passing it off as genuine leather, you will be sure that it will never be. In fact, a genuine leather bag due to the characteristics of the materials with which it is made can never be cheap because it must be handcrafted; this is because animal fibers cannot be processed mechanically but a profound experience and ability is required to be able to give life to a genuine leather bag with a unique beauty and for this reason it cannot cost too little because in this way its prestige could not be enhanced.
