Leather must be protected – also using texting auxiliary chemicals – in order to last as long as possible in the most perfect conditions. This is especially true for bags, but also for belts, shoes, gloves, and other leather accessories. If we want the leather to look good over time, we must not neglect anything and never leave anything to chance. Here is a sort of vademecum for the conservation of leather:

1. Never use leather accessories at the beach. Sand is prbably the first enemy of leather, since it deteriorates it. For this reason, leather bags and shoes must necessarily be left at home. For sure you will find other occasions to show them, but not on the beach!
2. When leather bags and shoes are kept in wardrobes, newspaper has to be used to keep their shape. As far as bags are concerned, this is true both for those that have a soft shape as well as for rigid bags. Newspapers must be crumpled up, but not too much, in order to make volume and thus preserve the original features. You can also use a leather softener.
3. Bags, shoes and belts must be fed with a special cream, transparent or of the same color of the leather. But remember to not put the accessories in the closet right away after that, because the cream needs to dry. Otherwise it would dirty everything it could come into contact with. Experts also use leather pigments in order to maintain the color of leather accessories.
4. Do not use soap or various detergents to wash the leather: In order to clean spots, wipes – for example those for babies – are already a good choice. For a deeper cleaning, however, you can opt for cleansing milk using make up wadding disks.

The women’s leather belt gives always that fanciful touch. It enriches and gives femininity to the outfit. It is pure elegance. In the choice of accessories that enrich your wardrobe, a sophisticated woman cannot deprive herself of a real leather belt, treated with the most qualitative leather chemistry products. Because quality is beauty, and beauty makes feel good!

A leather belt has multiple qualities that make it a must-have accessory for every woman:

• it is wear resistant
• it is versatile
• it is soft and comfortable, also thanks to leather softeners
• It adapts to all seasons

Other reasons that clearly state why a woman has to possess a real leather belt are the following:

• To make particular outfits that otherwise would be boring or shapeless: First of all, a leather belt is a simple way to embellish a look that might be a bit boring and impersonal. Plus, it is a valuable aid to enhance your figure with an oversize outfit.
• To make a casual dress elegant
• And viceversa, to make an elegant dress casual: The belt, paired with boots and a leather jacket, will certainly dampen the exclusiveness of the look
• To light up your look without wearing too many accessories: Rings, earrings, necklaces can be quite uncomfortable. Very often, women avoid wearing jewelry for fear of losing it in crowded places. A belt, however, is very difficult to lose and, with the right buckle, it can become the right accessory
• To renew the wardrobe without spending too much and in a single move

The leather processing industry is working and developing in order to produce the most qualitative leather you have ever seen and VecoItalia is the reference point when it comes to leather products.

The belt is not simply an accessory to sustain our trousers, but a real object of style and fashion. It is important therefore to learn how to recognize real leather belts from synthetic ones. Let’s say that the problem of having to distinguish a men’s leather belt from a synthetic one arises because of the existence of fabrics that, although very similar to real leather, have absolutely nothing to share with it.

Here are 3 ways and tests you can do to distinguish a genuine leather men’s belt from a synthetic leather one:

• Leather belts wear out differently.

It’s just another way of saying that they last longer compared to an accessory that isn’t made of real leather, also thanks to leather softeners. With time and use only the underlay of the leather comes out, while a belt in fake leather becomes fragile and full of cracks that crumble when touched.

• A real leather belt has an unmistakable smell.

The smell of genuine leather cannot be described, but surely if you smell it, even years later, you immediately realize whether it is a quality material or not. Fake leather will for sure not have a smell like it and it will certainly be more like naphtha. Also leather chemistry used on real leather will not make its fabolous smell fade away.

• A genuine leather belt absorbs water.

Great attention must be taken in this case, because it depends on the leather.

In general, if you try to pour a drop of water on a genuine leather belt, you will see that after a few seconds, leather will have absorbed the water without the tissues having altered. A fake leather belt, on the other hand, does not absorb water and the drop will remain there until you have dried it. Why do you have to pay attention then? Because if the leather belt has undergone a water repellent treatment thanks to textile auxiliary chemicals, even if it is real leather, it will not absorb water anyway.
