Leather is a prime commodity. It is expensive because it comes from animal hide. So when I was buying a belt the other month I was surprised when the saleslady said the one I was eyeing was made from leather. I raised my eyebrows because it only costs P400 so she backtracked and said it was from synthetic leather.
Anyway, I wish they don’t drop the leather tag loosely at stores. Because when you say leather I’m expecting it to be the natural kind from the skin of animals. Also others might believe they are buying a premium product when in fact they’re only buying a replica.
I think leathers are a good investment because they don’t break easily. When they do you have the option for leather restoration instead of throwing it away. I don’t mind paying more for something that will last long instead of paying cheap for something I can use once or twice.
