Leather - the ultimate animal fabric of all. The elegant look and feel of leather make it popular among the masses. But even this timeless fabric is surrounded by myths and doubts. As a handmade leather journal wholesaler in India, we often come across several questions from our customers about the quality of leather, cleaning procedures, and much more. And most of the time, these doubts are nothing but mere myths. Here are the top 5 myths about leather and the facts behind them.
One of our customers once asked us if his three-year-old daughter could carry our leather bag easily to her school. This might make you laugh, but people often believe that leather bags or leather journals will be too heavy to carry everywhere. That's a complete myth. The weight of the leather product totally depends on the animal skin used. For example, Goat leather is pretty light and thin. And, when you use canvas with goat skin, you can get a lightweight leather bag with solid durability. In fact, our Handmade Real Goat Leather Sling Bag is one of the most-selling leather bags online this year.
Another major myth about leather material is that it is waterproof. Well, this one is totally irrelevant. Leather isn't a waterproof material. Though leather can be water-resistant, it will not keep you dry if you swim in the ocean or have a puddle on your shoes. Thus, the best way to keep leather dry is by treating it with an oil-based product that repels water and helps absorb moisture from the air around it.
Though there is no second thought that leather is made of animal skin, people hesitate to choose leather bags, journals, or other leather products. But leather is often a byproduct of dairy and the meat industries. Or, to be clear, leather employed by leather journal manufacturers is the leftover of those meat exporters.
It is believed that leather is easy to clean. You can clean leather with a damp cloth, but this will only get the surface of your leather coat or jacket clean. But, there are many products designed specifically for cleaning leather coats and jackets for proper cleaning. Some of these include saddle soap and water (which also works well) or saddle soap with a soft brush attachment (which may be better).

Despite the belief that leather is uncomfortable, it is very comfortable, durable, and resilient. The soft and supple fabric breathes well too.
Thus, leather is an excellent material but needs to be treated and cared for. It is a material that can be used for fashion, furniture, and decoration. But people don't know that much about leather.
