Leather Travel Bags offer both durability and luxury. However, in choosing a leather briefcase, leather carry-on bag, or leather duffle bag, there are several types of leather to consider. In order to find the leather luggage that will fit your needs, it's important to understand the classes of leather. That's why we have put together a few descriptions and suggestions to help ensure that you purchase the perfect leather luggage.

Top Grain Leather:
The surface layer is referred to as the top grain, and it is the softest, most supple part of the hide. Top grain leather is excellent for luggage because there are no consistent fiber patterns along which the leather can tear. A great top grain leather briefcase to consider is the Cape Cod Leather Seafoam Briefcase

Bonded leather:
To make bonded leather, small leather pieces are mixed with a bonding agent to produce new, uniform leather that's both practical and budget-conscious.

Suede:
Suede is a type of finish applied to leather whereby the surface of the leather is "brushed" to create the texture, such as the Maxam suede leather duffle bag.

Man-Made leather:
Man-made leather is actually imitation leather, composed of plastics, fabric and rubber, with the look and texture of real leather at a more affordable price. For customers looking for a leather alternative, this great looking Angola Faux Leather Duffle bag or Angola Faux Leather Travel Bags are a great alternative.
Genuine Leather:

Genuine Leather:
Genuine leather is made from the lower layer of the hide, and a finish is then applied that makes this leather comparable in appearance to top grain leather. LeatherPaKs.com offers a variety of genuine leather handbags / purses, duffle bags , briefcases and backpacks
