What to Consider
Materials & Construction
- ·Silk — Naturally strong for its weight with a luxurious hand feel. Resists wrinkles but can be damaged by sunlight, perspiration, and deodorant.
- ·Leather — Quality leather develops character and a patina with age — it gets better, not worse. Can last decades with basic maintenance.
- ·Made by Good Cloth, LLC in United States.
Longevity & Care
- ·Silk — Dry clean or hand wash cold with mild detergent. Air dry away from direct sunlight. Never wring.
- ·Leather — Condition every 3-6 months to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid prolonged water exposure. Store in a breathable bag, never plastic.
- ·⚠ Avoid "bonded leather" or "genuine leather" — these are the lowest grades. Bonded leather is essentially glued scraps that peel and flake within 1-2 years. Look for "full-grain" or "top-grain" for real longevity.
Cost Per Use
- ·Silk — Quality silk pieces can last decades if properly cared for. The cost-per-wear is excellent for items worn regularly.
- ·Leather — A well-made leather bag or boot can last 10-20 years, making the cost per year very low compared to replacing synthetic alternatives every 1-2 years.
- ·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Bags). At ~15 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 7 months — and falls to roughly 11¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
