Leather Luggage Reviews

Leather Luggage and Womens Leather Handbags

Which is the best leather luggage?

If you are looking for stylish leather luggage the question of which manufacturer provides the best is a subjective matter. We each have our own opinions. Personally I feel that Coach in addition to making excellent womens leather handbags also make excellent leather luggage as well as all their other leather products.

One of Coach's latest pieces of leather luggage is the new HARRISON LEATHER MEDIUM CARRYALL

It is a carryall made of weather resistant leather with an inside zip pocket, a zip top closure, fabric lining and a 43" detachable shouder strap with 6.5" handles.

Dimensions are 22 x 12 x 9 .

Coach designer leather goods are excellent and if you can afford them then clearly an excellent choice for leather luggage with a note of distinction. Price is around $798.

If you are looking for quality leather luggage at a more affordable price without the well-known designer name then take a look at the David King Leather Luggage Deluxe Weekend Duffel. This is handcrafted from Vacquetta leather and is rich and elegant.

It has a leather top and handles with leather wrap and removable adjustable leather strap. Two zippered end pockets. Hardware fittings in matte silver. Large U zippered opening, with zippered interior pocket.

Dimensions 15.5" x 22.5" x 11" - Price around $125.

Coach leather handbags are some of the most popular handbags in the world. And often if you are interested in womens leather handbags once you have bought a Coach handbag you are often reluctant to buy any other. The problem is, however, that there are lots of fake Coach handbags and purses on sale so if you are in the market for genuine Coach bags - take care.

The important thing to look for, as with any designer handbag is the quality of the materials used and the quality of the workmanship. Coach use only the best quality leather bags which get softer and more pliable with age.

It is also worth remembering that although Coach produce quality ladies leather handbags it is company policy that they shall produce them at an affordable price.

If you are trying to distinguish whether a Coach ladies handbag is a fake or the genuine article check out the following points. Coach bags and purses always have high quality stitching and the patterns usually start from the middle of the bag.

If you see crooked patterns or slipshod stitching then it is not a genuine Coach handbag.

Coach purses and ladies handbags have a very unique feel so you need to look at a lot of Coach bags that you are know are genuine to know what to expect.

Fakes are generally made of low quality cheaper leather.

Coach always use high quality zips and they always pay attention to even the smallest details.

There is also the question of price Coach handbags and purses are not outrageously expensive, but they are also not cheap, so if you see one for a really low price, then common sense tells you that it is obviously not a genuine Coach bag.

Repairing Louis Vuitton Handbags

Women's Leather Handbags - Louis Vuitton Repairs

How to Repair a Louis Vuitton Bag

If you have a Louis Vuitton bag, whether it's a womens leather handbag or something else, you may after a while, need to get something repaired, such as the strap or a buckle or a zip. This shouldn't happen very often, as genuine Louis Vuitton leather bags are extremely high quality, if it is a fake of course that is a different matter. For information on how to know if your LV bag is real or a fake see - How to Spot a Fake LV Bag

So how to repair a Louis Vuitton ?

You must absolutely take it or send it to a Louis Vuitton retail outlet, if you have the repairs carried out at a local non Louis Vuitton shop, Louis Vuitton will either refuse to carry out further repairs or will insist on re-repairing the repairs, as they will consider that the item has been altered. To retain the value of the bag all repairs must be carried out by LV, even for tiny jobs such as repairing loose stitching.

(............ Louis Vuitton Surya XL $3360.00)

You should also know that Louis Vuitton repairs are expensive and slow e.g. a lining for a pocket in a purse will cost at least $100. Zips cost at least $50.

A complicated repair can take as long as 2 or 3 months. So while your Louis Vuitton bag is away being cared for you will probably need to buy another one at least.
