Advantages and disadvantages of travel bag sets made of canvas and leather

The choice of material for travel bag sets is more than just a matter of taste. Both canvas and leather have unique properties that can offer advantages and disadvantages depending on individual needs and requirements. Here is an overview:

Canvas Travel Bag Sets

Advantages:

• Lightweight: Canvas is generally lighter than leather, making it easier to transport.
• Breathable: The material allows air to pass through, which can be particularly beneficial on longer journeys.
• Easy to care for: Canvas is generally easy to clean.
• Sustainability: Canvas made from cotton is a renewable raw material and biodegradable.
• Cost-effective: Compared to leather, canvas is slightly cheaper.

Disadvantages:

• Less durability: Canvas can wear out faster and is less resistant to scratches and bumps.
• Water sensitivity: Unless specially treated, canvas is less water-repellent than leather.

Leather Travel Bag Sets

Advantages:

• Durability: High-quality leather is extremely robust and can last for many years if well cared for.
• Elegance: Leather has a natural, luxurious look that gains even more character over time.
• Water-repellent: Leather offers a certain water resistance that canvas often lacks.
• Unique: The natural grain makes each leather bag unique.

Disadvantages:

• Weight: Leather is generally heavier than canvas, which can be a disadvantage depending on your travel situation.
• Intensive care: Leather requires regular care to maintain its quality.
• Cost: High-quality leather is more expensive to purchase than canvas.

Whether canvas or leather – both materials have their own advantages and limitations. The choice should therefore be based on your individual needs and preferences.

Can I return individual parts of a set if I don't like one of the components?

Unfortunately, we cannot take back individual parts of a travel bag set with toiletry bag. If you are not satisfied with one part of the set, we ask you to send the entire set back. Alternatively, you can contact our customer service in advance. Perhaps we can find a good solution.

Colour variations in travel bag and toiletry bag in the set

Yes, it can happen that the travel bag and toiletry bag in the set differ slightly in color. The reason for this is the uniqueness of our products. Since each of our pieces of luggage is handmade, minimal color differences can occur. Such variations can occur, especially with natural materials such as buffalo leather, which give the product additional character.

However, we attach great importance to putting together sets in which the items harmonize well with each other in terms of color and style. Our goal is to offer you a coordinated and aesthetically pleasing travel experience.
