One of the most common questions we get at Bagstown is: "Should I buy genuine leather or synthetic leather?" The truth is, both have their own advantages. It completely depends on your lifestyle, budget, and values.
Genuine Leather
Pros: Extremely durable, develops a unique patina over time, smells great, and holds high resale value.
Cons: Requires regular maintenance, is heavier, and is more expensive.
Synthetic Leather (Faux Leather)
Pros: Cruelty-free, lightweight, water-resistant, easier to clean, and highly affordable.
Cons: May peel over time if low quality, does not develop a patina.
