Artificial leather solutions for handbags, backpacks, luggage, travel goods, cases, and packaging.

Not every bag requires the same leather. ROYI supplies PVC, semi-PU, PU dry-process leather, wet-process PU, solvent-free silicone leather, semi-silicone leather, and microfiber leather for different bag and luggage applications. From structured luggage panels to soft handbags, from cost-effective PVC leather to premium eco-friendly silicone leather, we help customers choose the right material according to hand feel, stiffness, durability, texture, cost, and production process.

Different Leather Materials for Different Bag Applications

All artificial leather materials can be used for bags and luggage, but the correct choice depends on the final product. Some bags need soft hand feel, some require strong structure, some focus on cost control, while premium collections may require eco-friendly, stain-resistant, or more leather-like materials.

Application Logic

All Materials Can Be Used for Bags, But the Right Choice Depends on the Product

For low-cost luggage and rigid cases, PVC calendered leather is often the most efficient choice.

For daily handbags and backpacks, semi-PU leather provides a good balance between durability, surface texture, and cost.

For fashion bags and premium leather goods, dry-process PU and wet-process PU provide a softer, more natural leather-like appearance.

For eco-friendly and high-end collections, solvent-free silicone leather and semi-silicone leather offer better stain resistance, cleanability, and skin-friendly surface performance.

For stronger structure and premium durability, microfiber leather is suitable for high-end bags, laptop cases, and luxury packaging.
