PU Leather vs PVC Leather: Which Material Is Better for Custom Bags
Choosing between PU leather and PVC leather sounds like a simple material decision, but for a custom bag project, it can change almost everything. It affects how the bag feels in the customer’s hand, how it looks in product photos, how it performs after weeks of use, how easy it is to clean, how much it costs to produce, and how confidently a brand can position the product in the market. A fashion handbag made from the wrong synthetic leather may feel stiff and low-end. A toiletry pouch made from the wrong soft material may stain, absorb moisture, or fail in wet environments. A clear stadium bag made with the wrong PVC thickness may wrinkle, crack, or look cheap after packing.
