A purse is an important product that can contain your entire life, but you might need to replace your purse for a number of reasons. Commonly, a purse might suffer damage over time to the materials, or you may just decide that you want to update your purse to something more to your liking. Either way, finding a new purse that appeals to you is an important process. In this blog, we will be sharing with you some things that you should consider when shopping for a new purse.

A tried and tested type of purse is a leather clutch, and for such a product you should expect to pay anywhere from fifty pounds to two thousand, depending on whom you purchase your purse from or what style you opt for. There are also a variety of types of leather that will influence the price that you end up paying, as well as the general quality of the product. In total, there are well over twenty five types of leather that can be used, however the actual difference is not too large between some of these products. Full grain leather refers to a hide that has been tanned but otherwise left alone, meaning that you should expect the to see imperfections remaining in the leather. A clutch purse made from full grain leather will end up being a cheaper option in general as a result of this, however there are some exceptions due to brand value. As an advantage, these products are generally more durable as the leather is of greater thickness than you should otherwise expect. Top grain leather has had the outer layer of hide removed through sanding in order to remove imperfections, and as a result you should expect a weaker product but an arguably better appearing product that is more expensive as a result. Nubuck leather is similar to top grain leather, but it has also undergone special brushing in order create a velvety finish similar to suede but with a greater thickness, which you should expect to be more expensive. Suede, on the other hand, is only made from the inner layer of hide and is a softer and thinner leather product than alternatives, that unfortunately is less durable.

Alternatively you can purchase a faux leather purse that has a number of advantages over leather products. Perhaps most importantly, faux leather purses are vegan purses, requiring no animal suffering for their production. Even for those that don’t live a fully vegan lifestyle, many find the act of using leather products an unfortunately reality that they would rather not be a part of, and using vegan purses can be an excellent solution for this, where you can purchase products and be assured that the materials used in its production have been fully ethically sourced. This is because a faux leather purse can achieve a very similar appearance and texture as an actual leather product through the range of treatments and materials used in their production. They are also generally cheaper to produce than the often expensive leather products, that can really balloon in cost as the quality of the products increases. You can expect that the value of vegan purses range from between twenty and three hundred pounds while retaining access to a diversity of textures and appearances that rivals any leather purse catalogue that you might find.
