Besides that, there is another non-leather handbag material class - fabric. Those fabric can include Nylon, canvas, silk, cotton, and more. Here we take Nylon, canvas, and cotton as examples to introduce non-leather handbag materials.

Nylon is a synthetic fabric that is durable and lightweight. If nylon handbags are introduced, we couldn’t help mentioning how Prada introduced the nylon bag into the fashion world. During the whole process, Patrizio Bertelli, husband of Miucia Prada, did a fantastic job to make nylon bags accepted into the fashion industry. Prada officially launched nylon handbags in 1985 and wined their accomplishments. However, Prada backpacks and handbags had been already come out since 1979. They were not popular during that time. Women didn’t like the black color and stiff texture. But Bertelli kept working on it and never gave it up. Finally Prada nylon bags win their consumers’ heart. Now the nylon bags not only keep their original good features: handy and functional, but also the new technique can change their previous stiff appearance into a soft texture. Nylon bags are getting more and more popular.

Canvas is another options among the handbag fabric materials. It has a stiff appearance and colorful prints with its easily printing feature. The canvas bags are more popular in the casual occasions like shopping. Usually the handbags have enough space. With their colorful prints, people have more trendy canvas bags in their wardrobe.

Compared to the above two fabric, cotton handbags have one obvious advantage - soft and lightweight feature. It takes much smaller space in your storage. It can have the same colorful prints as the canvas bags, or even better. Currently more and more women would like showing their unique fashion favor with their beautiful cotton bags.

Pricewise, fabric handbags are usually much cheaper than leather bags or PU bags. However, the non-leather fabric bags can be more expensive as long as they have a fabulous design. Nowadays, the design and the style of the handbag are taking into consideration more.
