Many Reasons To Choose Custom Leather Products

By Tracie Knight


In a world where mass production is the norm and most items are disposable, people are increasingly looking for quality, long lasting items. Custom leather products are more widely available since the advent of internet shopping and it is possible to find them at many online stores. A huge range of items are on offer, from holsters and saddles to fashion items like jackets and shoes.

In a society where cheaply made, disposable items are readily available, these items are made like they used to be, one at a time, to last a lifetime. Varying degrees of customization are offered by suppliers. The amount of customization varies considerably from store to store. For example, a shoe store may offer only four styles of shoes, but allow customers to choose the height of the heel, the lining, the sole and the type of toe cap to create thousands of different combinations. Some companies offer the opportunity to completely customize from selecting of the type of material to the color and style.

As custom products are more time consuming to make, they do command a higher price tag. However, various technological advances now enabled companies to offer various degrees of customization at reasonable prices compared with those charged in the past. Complete customization requires a collaborative creative process between the customer and the supplier and so this does cost more. However, the results are one-of-a-kind items possessed by no-one else.

Such items require a level of craftsmanship and it is vital that quality materials are used. Leather is a material that gives a certain classical look but also allows many different options for design. There are many different types and they can be used to create stunningly, creative designs. The types used vary, depending on what is particularly suited to a certain type of product.

Leather comes in four basic types: full grain, top grain, corrected grain and bonded. Full grain is the highest quality and the most long lasting. It is appreciated for the wonderful patina that develops with time. Top grain is also fine quality and is used extensively, although it does not get the same patina as imperfections are removed by sanding before use.

When looking for such merchandise one has to be aware of imitations. Even products that claim to be completely hand made using the finest quality materials sometimes consist of partially made components sourced cheaply and put together. This is why it is vital to select a reliable company with the necessary experience, service and dependability.

These items make wonderful gifts as well as promotional materials for businesses. Many suppliers have no problem with adding a logo to an item. A key chain branded with a business logo or an embossed luggage tag make affordable promotional tools.

Ordering uniquely made items was traditionally an option only for the wealthy. However, customers of all ages are now shopping online for these items. Items like jackets, shoes, furniture and many others are available and the options are available to add a personal touch without too much extra expense.
