Most  people like wallets made of leather. However, not all the wallets are  made of genuine leather. There are many kinds of material which can be  used to make wallets. Today I will tell you some advantages and  disadvantages of various kinds of material. Next time you will be more  professional when you are buying a wallet. Let’s take a look. 1. Genuine leather Just as its name implies, this kind of wallet is made of the skin of animals, usually  the skin of cattles, sheep, pigs, horses, deer and other common  animals. Wallets made of this material can provide you with natural  texture and the best handfeel as well. It’s  the ideal material for making a wallet. But this kind of material also  has obvious defect, wallets made of this material are more expensive and  this kind of wallets can be easily out of shape when it’s wet. So you have to take good care of it. 2. Bonded leather It’s  a kind of material which is made from the leftovers of genuine leather.  The leftovers are smashed into powder and then bonded with chemical  materials. That’s  why we call it bonded leather. This kind of material feels and looks  like genuine leather but the price is cheaper. Wallets made of this  material are usually thicker and heavier than genuine leather ones. 3. Artificial leather Also known as imitation leather. It’s  the generic term of artificial materials like PVC and PU. This is the  cheapest among the three kinds of materials. Although the handfeel and  texture are not so good as genuine leather, it still feels and looks  like genuine leather to a large extent. Unlike the above two materials,  it can provide better waterproofness. So once your wallet is wet by  accident, you don’t have to worry it will out of shape.
