PU is the abbreviation for polyurethane. It is one of the most popular handbag materials in the fashion world. It is a man-made material and usually named by faux leather, new material in the current market. Those recognized advantages make it popular including cheaper price, rich color, and multi-grain surface.
PVC is another man-made handbag material to replace genuine leather before PU appears. Both PU and PVC have a similar manufacture process. Essentially, two layers are the backbone of the materials. One is the base layer and the other is the additive layer. For PVC, the base layer usually is made of textile, e.g. canvas, cotton. The base layer of PU can be textile or leather which is usually low quality or some leftover. The additive layer of PVC is plasticizers so it has a stiff surface and is fragile. PU takes different additive chemicals so it has a soft leather feel. Some have really high quality finishing process so better air permeability can be the same as the leather. Plus the advantages mentioned above, don’t be surprised if you see PU bags have a higher price than the genuine leather’s.
How to differentiate from PU(PVC) and leather? Here are two easy ways. First, check the base layer. PU or PVC usually has textile base layer. Second, burn the material sample. PU or PVC will be melting but leather won’t. Furthermore, you can take a small test to identify PU and PVC. Soak the bag materials into gasoline. After half an hour, PVC becomes stiffened and fragile but it doesn’t happen to PU.

Handbags are a must-have accessory for a woman. People love handbags although many don’t really know what handbag styles they have. Four handbag styles are more popular among them: tote, hobo, satchel, and should bags. Some has clear image for most of people but some are very confusing even for designers.
Tote handbags are large, double handled bags. Usually it has an open top and open main compartment which can contain much staff. Now people are getting used to add handbags with a top closure into the tote.

Satchel usually has a top closure, top carry handle, and a flat bottom. Should handbags are any bags that can be carried on the shoulder by straps. Are those two the same? Definitely no. Usually Satchel is wider than it is tall. That’s the way to differentiate between those two.
Those definitions are not more important than handbags themselves. However, it can make your handbag shopping much easier, especially for online shopping.
