After two months of thinking about it, I feel that the way to convince consumers of our products is to let them know more about them than to recommend them directly. Therefore, starting to understand the material is not only the first step forward but also a kind of embodiment from point to line.
For the first topic, I will introduce PU Leather with cotton lining baby shoes. When it comes to PU, its "enemy" leather is also unavoidable, so I will also compare PU and leather. Long story short, let’s begin with the introduction.
1. Introduction and Contrast of PU Leather and Genuine Leather
Material Characteristics & Manufacturing Process:
1)PU Leather
PU leather is a synthetic material formed by mixing polyurethane (PU) with other additives. These additives adjust the softness, abrasion resistance, and color of the leather. PU is coated by applying a PU mixture to a substrate (usually fabric or non-woven), which is then heated and pressed to bond it to the substrate and form the surface of the PU leather. Many manufacturers prefer to use PU, like us, due to PU leather can be printed or dyed through the process of obtaining a variety of colors and patterns, increasing the flexibility of the design. Besides, PU relative to leather will be more environmentally friendly, and more in line with our public welfare concept.
Due to the more and more developed technology nowadays, PU is also made more like leather and closer to the leather texture. But they can still be recognized by their characteristics.
- APPEARANCE: PU leather usually has a uniform surface and color, which can imitate the appearance of genuine leather.
- EASY TO PROCESS: Because of its softness and elasticity, PU leather is easy to cut and sew, and suitable for all kinds of shoes and garments.
- Environmentally friendly: Compared to genuine leather, the production process of PU leather involves fewer animals, in line with some consumers' preference for environmental protection.
- Low price: Compared with genuine leather, PU leather usually costs less, so the price is more competitive.
- Easy to clean: PU leather surface is generally smoother than leather, and easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth.
2)Genuine Leather
Genuine leather is a natural material obtained from the skin of an animal (usually cowhide, sheepskin, or pigskin) after dehairing, tanning, and other treatments. The tanning process uses chemicals or plant extracts to transform animal skin into leather that can be used in fabrication. After tanning, the leather is trimmed, polished, and dyed in several stages to enhance its texture and appearance. Products made of genuine leather retain the grain and texture of natural skin, and over time reveal a unique style and luster.
Because of the use of animal dermis, it has a number of distinctive features.
- DURABILITY: Genuine leather offers superior durability and resistance to wear and tear due to its natural fiber structure and thickness.
- COMFORT: Genuine leather has excellent breathability, keeping feet dry and comfortable.
- TEXTURE: The feel and look of genuine leather are difficult to replicate exactly with synthetic materials due to its unique texture and natural skin feel.
- Expensive: Genuine leather is usually more expensive, which makes it a high-end product that not every consumer can afford.
- Requires professional care: Genuine leather requires regular maintenance to maintain its appearance and performance, otherwise it tends to harden or crack.
