Materials for duplicating leather parts of the bag. Non-woven bulk adhesive one-sided What to put in a bag for hardness

Sealant - a special cushioning material used in garments to stiffen them. When sewing "hard" and "semi-hard" bags, it is simply necessary so that the final product keeps its shape and retains a beautiful appearance for a long time. It is located between the outer fabric and the lining, and is not visible from the outside.

The seal can be glued to the parts of the bag and stitched, or it can be used as an insert without being secured with a machine seam. The sealant for bags must withstand deformation loads well.
In order to compile a more complete list of compactors, I conducted a survey among my readers and subscribers. Thanks to everyone who responded and wrote. I have included your valuable advice in this article.

I divide bag seals into two types:
- those that were originally intended for clothing production;
- “crazy hands” or “need for invention is cunning” - materials that are intended for other purposes, but perfectly suited our tasks: to compact the bag, give it rigidity and the desired shape.

Adhesive seals for bags and backpacks.

This includes sewing industrial materials. They are made from a base (woven or non-woven) with an adhesive layer applied to it. Glue is applied in a continuous layer or pointwise.
Adhesive seals make the fabric of the bag thicker and stiffer, due to which it holds its shape better.

Interlining

A non-woven material made from cellulose fibers with the addition of polyester. It is strong enough. Manufacturers claim that it does not stretch or tear. From my own experience, I can say that if you pull it diagonally, it still spreads a little. It is adhesive and non-adhesive. Adhesive coating - continuous and spot. It is advisable to cover the interlining with a lining, because. its surface may become disheveled over time and look unaesthetic.
In my own experience and the experience of other craftswomen, I will say that the service life, shape and appearance of the finished product depends on how well the interlining is glued. Unfortunately, there is no ideal recipe for the temperature and pressing force of the iron, since initially non-woven fabric was produced for textile production, where special presses are used.
There is a kind of interlining - thread sewn. The non-woven fabric is quilted and due to this it becomes denser and stretches less.
Another type is bulk interlining. It is a non-woven fabric made from cotton fibers. In appearance, it looks like a synthetic winterizer, but has a denser structure.

dublerin

A seal made on a fabric basis, cotton or knitted. The adhesive layer is continuous and dotted. When cutting parts from dublerin, you need to take into account the direction of the shared thread, as well as on ordinary fabric.

Doublerin varies in density: from thin knitwear to thick cotton. It should be borne in mind that products made of dense dublerin are difficult to turn out. It gives rigidity and shape to finished products, prevents stretching. It is also used to strengthen individual parts - pocket flaps, straps, etc.

Decovil

This is an adhesive-based interlining made according to new technology. It looks like skin of a light beige color, about 2 mm thick. It does not wrinkle, does not crumble on cuts, does not tear, bends easily and does not break. The product, reinforced with dekovil, retains its shape well. It is used for sewing bags and belts. Suitable for cotton and synthetics.



gossamer

Non-woven transparent material, on which adhesive is applied on both sides. It consists of thin fibers with a rare weave and looks really like a cobweb. Sold as a canvas, or a narrow strip.

It is used to connect two parts to each other, to secure appliqués, loops or seams, to process the bottom of the product. The gossamer is more suitable as a way to fix the part for a short time, because. May peel off after washing.
Bags made of artificial or real leather are usually not washed, so you can attach a layer of cotton or other lining fabric to them with a spider web for stiffening and shaping.

On thin fabrics, the cobweb is not recommended. There is a regular one and a paper one. The second option is considered better, because. It has a mesh structure and stretches a little.

Adhesive calico

This is a dense cotton fabric with a fairly large texture. The adhesive coating is continuous. It is used where the product needs to maintain a constant rigid shape - shirt collars, cuffs, etc. It is used on dense cotton fabrics. Sometimes coarse calico is equated with adhesive dublerin, since both materials have a fabric base.

Sintepon

Thread-piercing adhesive, it is also an amplifier of the onboard fabric.
Non-woven soft material, quilted for durability with parallel stitches. Thickness 3-4 mm. There is a dense and loose variety.
Good for bags that need a non-rigid shape and volume. They strengthen the bottom and walls.

The synthetic winterizer is quilted.

You can quilt yourself, you can buy ready-made. They strengthen the bottom and walls of bags and backpacks. The details are dense, but at the same time flexible. However, if you need to make a hard bottom, this material will not work. If you quilt yourself, then this is a rather laborious process.

Sintepon adhesive dot.

It is thinner than, for example, thread-piercing. The dots are small and large. The first option is better, because more connection area with the main part. A synthetic winterizer with large dots sticks worse and copes worse with its duties.

Proclamelin

The same applies to non-woven fabric. It is made from viscose and nitron fibers. Keeps its shape well, does not stretch. It can be cut in any direction. Available in two types: adhesive and non-adhesive. It is used in the manufacture of hats, coats and individual parts of clothing. Reminiscent of interlining, but proclamelin is denser to the touch.

side seal

Non-woven fabric made from cotton fibers. The structure resembles felt. One side is adhesive. It is a bit like a glue padding polyester, but, unlike it, it has a denser structure. When sewing small parts, it is not recommended to let the sealant into the seam, otherwise it will be too thick. Suitable for tight, but not hard straps, bottom and sides of bags. Gives products strength, soft shape and volume.

Non-adhesive seals for bags and backpacks.

Spunbond

Thin non-woven synthetic material from polymer melt. Other names - covering material, agrofibre. Initially, it was created for the needs of the agricultural industry. They cover beds and greenhouses, make drainage systems. Spunbond is environmentally friendly and very durable. Now it is widely used in the clothing industry in the production of carpets, blankets and overalls. Available in different thicknesses and colors, and even with a foil coating. When sewing soft bags, it is used to shape the walls and bottom.

Batting and burlap

This is a non-woven fabric made of cotton or wool fibers, interconnected with a herringbone seam. It is well known to workers in the clothing industry of the Soviet era. They were insulated with coats and fur coats. Keep in mind that batting is a rather heavy material, products made from it dry for a long time after washing. It adds volume and softness to bags.

Technical felt

Material obtained by felting wool. It differs in thickness and the amount of impurities in the composition. It is used in the shoe industry (insoles, felt boots, etc.), as a room heater, a cushioning layer for protecting metal parts, soundproofing material, etc. In bags, it is used to strengthen the bottom.

Izolon

Speaking smartly, it is foamed polyethylene foam. And if in a simple way, then isolon is an insulating material that is used as a substrate for a laminate. When buying, you need to pay attention to the fact that the isolon bends, but does not break, because. fragile species are found. Thick isolon is sold in the form of rugs in sports, tourist and fishing and hunting stores called karemata or foam. The hardest version of isolon is used in the industrial tailoring of bags to strengthen the bottom.

There is an adhesive isolon - glue is applied on one side, which is protected by thin paper. The part is cut out without allowances, the protective layer is removed and glued. Sold in shops with goods for repair and sewing shoes. In some stores, it is called "Universal". There are different thicknesses from 2 to 4 mm.

Foam rubber

This is a porous lightweight material of different thicknesses. It is best to take a thickness of up to 2 cm. Foam rubber is adjusted to the detail of a bag or backpack. The part is strengthened and gets a nice convex surface.

Linoleum.

Most often used to strengthen the bottom or small parts of bags. Details from linoleum are not stitched. They are cut out without allowances and used as an insert.

Cardboard

Wrinkled, does not return to its previous state. Products that use cardboard cannot be washed.

haberdashery cardboard

It is also called leatherboard. Made from a mixture of leather fibers and glue. It is applied in the shoe and haberdashery industry. Used to stiffen certain parts of the bag, can be used to reinforce the bottom.
Plastic folders from stationery stores, plastic table napkins.
Available material, gives sufficient rigidity. However, it breaks with time and frost. As a sealant, it is suitable for the bottom and small parts.

Hardboard

It is also a fibreboard (MDF). It is strong and durable. Breaks when bent hard. They are best to strengthen the bottom of the bag, which has a rigid shape.

Sole saddle

This is genuine vegetable tanned leather, 3-6 mm thick. Used as a sole for some types of shoes.

The photo above shows the materials that I use to duplicate the leather parts of the bag.
I write about this in the next (ninth) issue of the newsletter.
http://subscribe.ru/catalog/culture.hobby.sumkiostroglyad
Above in the photo - foam rubber (sometimes adhesive and non-adhesive).
Below and to the right is isolon (it can also be glued and not glued, I use glue).
Below, pink, leather goods cardboard.
At the very bottom - black, spunbond (it can be of different thicknesses).
All this is sold in MiK on Elizarovskaya, and cardboard is nearby in Speranza.
Using the example of my bags, I will tell you in which cases I use this or that duplicating material.

Foam rubber.I very rarely use it, as it is only suitable for thin and soft skin, and I very rarely use this. It is better to take non-glue, since it is unlikely that it will be possible to glue it evenly over the entire surface with an iron. And not glue, I just sew along the perimeter of the part at a distance of 3-5 mm from the edge to keep it, and then it will go into the allowances. Bags "Blue Leaves" and "Dragon" I duplicated with foam rubber. By the way, they are made according to the same pattern, only one of them has seams on the sides, and the other has seams in the center.

Spunbond.This material is black and white, different thicknesses. I use black spunbond 80-100 microns thick to seal some parts of the bag and a denser 130-150 microns to duplicate the front and back walls of the bag. It is also better not to glue it over the entire surface, but to fix it around the perimeter. Well, or glue it on glue or double-sided tape, if this is, for example, the place where the handles will be sewn to the bag, the walls of which do not need to be duplicated. I also always make models of future bags from this material in order to check the correctness of the pattern and fit it to what we need. Bag "Bear on a bike" I duplicated spunbond. Both her top and her bottom are made of patent leather, although the latter may be overkill, but I wanted her to definitely stand and not squint. In the same way, I duplicated the details of the Butterfly handbag.


Izolon.It also comes in adhesive and non-adhesive versions. I've only used glue so far. In 80% of bags I use this material, 2 mm thick, for duplicating parts. I cut out the part from isolon a little less than the leather part, since it should not fall into the seam. Glue accumulates on the needle and the machine does not like it. This is the only inconvenience. Basically, the material behaves perfectly if the skin is suitable: dense enough, moderately rigid and in no way stretchy. Although you can try to glue the isolon to the stretching one, the result is unpredictable. And it sticks like this: we peel off the protective layer from it and we have material left in our hands, on one side of which there is a sticky layer. We glue it on the wrong side of the leather part. In the Seahorse bag, I used isolon. I glued it separately to each part of the front and back walls, then sewed all the parts together ... Of course, it’s easier when you can glue the isolon on the entire part of the front or back wall at once, but there I also got a voluminous part between the parts - a vein covered with leather, so that this was not an option.

Leather goods cardboard. This is wonderful material. Moderately flexible, moderately thick. Basically, I compact the bottom with them. Sometimes in addition to isolon. Or I use it to seal a non-reversible clutch, such as "Black with a butterfly bow." In general, cardboard is for products that do not need to be turned inside out. But if only the bottom is sealed, then you can turn it out. Or it happens that such a cardboard bottom, lined with lining material, is made separately, and you can even take it out of the bag.

In a clutch made of fabric "Blue with a butterfly bow" I used both adhesive isolon and leather goods cardboard. I pasted the isolon on the wrong side of the fabric, and then put the cardboard into the almost ready bag. But maybe it would be possible to stick isolon on cardboard and put such a detail at the end of work on the bag.


There are bags in which almost no need to seal anything. It depends on the model of the bag and on the right leather. For example, a backpack that Artyom made in class. It's unlined. And we chose the skin so that even without any seals it looked good. We have only duplicated the bottom. Skin. That is, they cut out two bottoms and glued them together with rubber glue. It turned out quite a dense bottom, and from the inside it looks beautiful.


Look like that's it.

Next time I will write about ... To be honest, I don’t know about what yet. Most likely, this will be a bag pattern and a description of the work, but if not, then sorry, later. Everyone - fresh air, warm sea and even tan.

P.S. We are still on vacation. Our enthusiasm for going to the sea twice a day has faded somewhat, so we go to the sea only once, in the late afternoon, and escape from the unbearable heat of the day at home. Yesterday we had a big family picnic: we fried sausages on the seashore, ate watermelon and all sorts of other food and, of course, swam to the point of stupefaction! :)

Fabrics for bags

A bag is an accessory that neither men nor women can do without. Volumetric household and small shoulder bags, travel trunks and children's backpacks, smart clutches and beach bags - all of them somehow serve to carry and store any things in any weather, indoors and outdoors. Therefore, fabrics for bags must be particularly durable, resistant to moisture and dirt, and also easy to care for.

Historians claim that the first bags appeared more than six thousand years ago. They were leather or fabric bags, in which coins were most often placed. Men wore them on their belts, and women hid them in the folds of their clothes.

In the 18th century, small lace handbags with a tight bottom, the top of which was tightened with a cord, came into fashion. In honor of the favorite of King Louis XV, they were called "pompadours". At the same time, reticules appeared, which were decorated with embroidery, beads, gold or silver embroidery, and even precious stones.

The first bags that look familiar to a modern person were worn by women at the beginning of the 19th century, after the French Revolution. In those days, each bag was made to order and existed in a single copy. Mass production began in the middle of the century before last in England, where the first Hermès and Louis Vuitton factories were opened. In the twentieth century, the bag has become the most necessary accessory, without which it is impossible to imagine any women's or men's wardrobe.

Interesting fact! The first locks on products appeared in the 19th century, and zippers began to be sewn in only in the 50s of the last century.

Backpacks and satchels: what's the difference

Both a backpack and a knapsack are types of bags that are worn over the shoulders on the back. The difference between them is in the design of the straps: they are straight on the knapsack, and oblique on the backpack.

The forerunner of the modern knapsack, as most first-graders know it, was the army one, which, since the 18th century, was used by soldiers to store luggage.

A backpack is an invariable attribute of tourists, climbers and just practical people who carry a large number of things with them. Currently, backpacks made of bright fabrics with many decorative elements are at the peak of youth fashion.

Interesting to know! The universal suspension system of most backpacks allows you to easily carry weights up to 30 kg, even for a person of average build.

Basic fabrics for sewing bags

Textile technologies, which have been rapidly developing in recent decades, have made possible the emergence of many modern materials suitable for sewing bags and backpacks.

For the production of bag and backpack fabrics, synthetic fibers are used, which have increased strength and wear resistance. From the inside, the canvas is treated with a waterproof material, which is most often used as:

  • polyurethane (PU);
  • polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

PVC gives the fabric additional rigidity, it keeps its shape well. However, this material is very sensitive to changes in temperature: both in the cold and in the bright sun, it can crack and lose its protective qualities.

The polyurethane coating not only withstands both low and high temperatures, but is also resistant to creases and other deformations. But unlike polyvinyl chloride, PU has a higher cost, which significantly increases the price of a bag or backpack. Therefore, its use is justified only in expensive products.

It's important to know! To denote the density of bag fabrics, there is a special unit - den. The higher this indicator, the stronger and more resistant the fabric to damage. The best indicator for bags is 600-1000 den.

The most common materials for a backpack or bag are:

  • canvas;
  • cordur;
  • gabardine;
  • varnish;
  • Oxford;
  • denim.

Let us dwell in more detail on the main properties of each of these tissues.

Canvas: modern canvas

In ancient times, the sails on all ships were made from durable hemp fibers. This strong fabric, known in Russia as canvas, in Europe became known as canvas, from the modified word "canuabis" - hemp. AT modern world sails have long been made from synthetic materials, and canvas is used for sewing various products that require increased strength.

This bag textile consists of two layers: in the lower layer, polyester is combined with natural cotton, and in the upper layer, with nylon. The fabric is produced using sail weaving, which makes the canvas original and recognizable.

Canvas has the following properties:

  1. Pollution resistant.
  2. Water repellency.
  3. Wear resistance and durability.
  4. Softness.
  5. The presence of a wide range of colors.

In addition, prints and pictures are easily applied to the material by thermal printing, which gives the finished product an additional appeal.

Important! Caring for canvas products is extremely simple. It is enough to vacuum and wipe them with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust.

Cordura: maximum strength

This modern fabric material was developed in the USA specifically for the production of military equipment and uniforms.

Under the CORDURA® trademark, several types of fabrics are produced, used for tailoring body armor, tents, knee pads and other military ammunition. Cordura is most often 100% nylon, although sometimes up to 10% cotton thread is added. Such a fabric can be recognized by the presence of a light fluff on the surface. The fibers are tightly twisted before weaving the fabric, so the strength and wear resistance of Cordura is 5 times better than that of the nylon from which it is made.

Other characteristics include:

  1. Increased water resistance.
  2. Durability.
  3. High strength.
  4. Reliability.

At the same time, this dense material has a considerable weight and rather high cost, which makes it inaccessible to the mass consumer. In addition, climbing athletes note that the fabric does not withstand significant cold: it becomes stiff and crumbles.

It's important to know! Cordura products can be washed both by hand and in a typewriter. But it should be remembered that the wet fabric dries for a very long time, so you just need to wipe the product with a damp cloth.

Gabardine: waterproof beauty

Initially, for the manufacture of this beautiful material, merino sheep wool was used, to which a little cotton was added.

Nowadays, gabardine is more often made from mixed or fully synthetic fibers. A feature of the fabric are thin diagonal scars, going at an angle along the front surface. This is achieved thanks to a special twill weave that gives the fabric density. The presence of scars makes gabardine practically waterproof - drops of water flow down them, as if along grooves, without penetrating inside.

The advantages of gabardine also include:

  1. Dimensional stability - the material does not stretch and does not shrink.
  2. Wear resistance.
  3. Wrinkle resistance.
  4. Lightness and softness.

Most often, gabardine has a solid color, various decorative ornaments made of wood, metal or plastic look great with it. Small women's handbags, children's and youth backpacks, home textiles and clothes are sewn from this fabric. Products made of gabardine easily tolerate washing and cleaning with various chemicals without losing their attractive appearance.

Lake: a brilliant miracle

Lacque is an original bag fabric resembling patent leather. The name of the material is translated from French as "brilliant". Two-layer material: a special latex or polyamide film is applied to the base, which is often used as nylon or viscose. Varnish is monophonic in the widest color scheme or with a variety of patterns, patterns and prints.

In addition to the spectacular appearance, the lacquer material has other advantages that bag manufacturers have paid attention to:

  1. Waterproof.
  2. Low cost.
  3. Resistant to mold, bacteria and microorganisms.
  4. Durability.

From varnish you can also sew gloves, jackets, raincoats, jackets, trousers and skirts. Particular attention is paid to this material by theatrical costume manufacturers and in the furniture industry.

It's important to know! To remove a stain from a lacquer bag, you need to wipe it with a cloth soaked in soapy water. Do not rub or scratch the material strongly, as it will immediately lose its beauty and presentability.

Oxford: Scottish matting

This fabric is based on a special interweaving of threads, reminiscent of a cane basket, which was first used by Scottish craftsmen back in the 19th century. Therefore, Oxford is called "cane fabric" or "Scottish matting."

The name "Oxford" was assigned to the fabric, since shirts made from it were especially popular with students of the college of the same name. The special weave makes the material strong and weather resistant, while the use of natural blended or fully synthetic fibers instead of natural blended or fully synthetic fibers increases its durability and longevity.

For the manufacture of bags, Oxford is suitable, having a density of 200-300 den. Backpack fabric should have increased strength, so its density is 400-500 den.

The undoubted advantages of the material include:

  1. Waterproof.
  2. Windproof.
  3. impact resistance chemical substances.
  4. Elasticity.
  5. Wear resistance.

The disadvantage of fabric is its ability to generate static electricity.

It's important to know! Oxford does not tolerate high temperatures: with strong heating, it deforms and loses its presentation. Therefore, do not put backpacks and bags near an open fire and dry them on heaters.

Denim: denim dream

Denim is a dense, mechanically resistant material obtained from the highest quality natural fiber. It is believed that the best for the production of "jeans" is cotton grown in Egypt, the USA or Turkmenistan.

The fibers are dipped ten times in indigo vats, followed by drying, and only the warp threads, not the weft, are to be dyed. This is why denim always has a white back, while the front side varies from light blue to deep dark blue.

The choice of denim for sewing stylish bags and backpacks is not accidental, since the material has a number of positive properties:

  1. Does not pass dust and is little polluted.
  2. Does not electrify.
  3. Hygroscopic.
  4. Wear resistant.
  5. Durable and resistant to mechanical damage and deformation.

In addition, jeans go well with any fabric trim - lace, guipure, embroidery, various stitching and decorative details.

Bags and backpacks made of this material have always been and remain at the top of fashion for young people. Unfortunately, high-quality denim has a rather high price, and its cheaper options do not have all the characteristics necessary for a beautiful and durable product.

It should be remembered! In order for a denim thing to serve for a long time, you need to provide it with proper care: Wash only in cool water and do not use bleach or other chlorine products.

In addition to all the above-mentioned fabrics, natural suede and leather are used to make bags. Products made from these materials are distinguished by exquisite beauty and aesthetics, but they have a rather high cost.

Lining fabrics

Any bag, satchel or backpack must have a lining. It not only masks all internal seams, but also strengthens and ennobles the product, helping it to maintain its appearance. All accessories are attached to the lining - locks, fasteners, zippers, partitions and pockets are formed from it.

The main lining fabrics are:

  • satin - most often used in expensive women's bags and clutches;
  • viscose - thanks to its silky and fine texture, it is great for summer beach products;
  • polyester is the main lining fabric for most inexpensive bags. It has excellent water-repellent properties, does not wrinkle and is easy to clean;
  • mesh is a cellular synthetic fabric that is used as a lining for backpacks and large travel bags.

A variety of fabrics, lining materials and decorative elements allow everyone to choose the right product for themselves according to their needs and taste.

Bags and backpacks do one a simple function- they carry things. This means that the fabric for tailoring must be exceptionally durable and strong, as well as easy to care for, because it is very often used outdoors, in any weather.

To create bags and backpacks, natural and synthetic fabrics are used, as well as a huge amount of accessories and decor. Let's take a closer look at materials for exterior decoration and decoration.

A few words about bags

Traditionally, a bag is a soft container for carrying a variety of items.

They are worn on the shoulder, in the hands, as well as on the belt and even on the arm. The structure can be reinforced with a solid bottom and rigid walls. Handles are varied - leather, wicker, wooden, short and long.

Bags are worn by both men and women. This is a fairly general concept, which can include suitcases, briefcases, clutches, bags and string bags. The bag happens:

  • volumetric (economic);
  • saddle (shoulder);
  • road;
  • bracelet bag;
  • beach;
  • field;
  • sack.

These are not all varieties. Obviously, a huge amount of materials are used to sew all kinds of bags.

Interesting fact: in Amsterdam there is a Museum of Bags, where you can see more than 3,500 exhibits. Many of them have been preserved since the 16th century.

A little about backpacks and knapsacks


Travel backpacks

A backpack is just a kind of bag, its shoulder version. Usually a backpack has one or two slant straps that are worn over the shoulders. The hands remain free. At a knapsack, unlike a backpack, the straps are straight.

The modern backpack, which is so loved by tourists and simply practical people, has evolved from an army satchel. The first models were made of tarpaulin, that is, dense fire-resistant and water-repellent canvas. The capacity of the backpack is from 40 to 70 liters (there are also larger sizes). They also differ in design (soft, rigid and semi-rigid, the so-called anatomical).

Thematic varieties of backpacks:

  • climbing;
  • bicycle;
  • military;
  • urban;
  • tourist.

The rucksack must be extraordinarily durable, because you can carry much more weight on your own shoulders than in your hands, as is the case with a bag. That is why backpack fabrics are very dense, wear-resistant, often impregnated with protective compounds against moisture and fire.


Material for bags and backpacks

Let us consider in more detail the materials from which bags and backpacks are made.

Gabardine

Made from the following materials:

  • natural wool;
  • synthetic fibers;
  • lurex, silver and gold threads.

Positive qualities of the fabric:

  • density and strength;
  • wear resistance;
  • dimensional stability;
  • decorative.

Usually, tapestry fabrics do not require complex care - modern fabrics are impregnated with protective compounds. It is best to clean the bag dry. If the contamination is persistent, wash only the area that requires care. Tapestries are protected from moisture and direct sunlight.

Denim

This material is called . The triumphant story of denim began precisely when the entrepreneur Levi Strauss came up with durable pants for workers - jeans. Any type of denim always contains cotton. Threads for future fabric are twisted - they become stronger. The canvas is made with a twill weave, which gives the material a ribbed texture and a diagonal pattern.


Denim bags

Positive features of denim:

  • versatility (sew both bags and backpacks);
  • wear resistance;
  • does not pass dust;
  • not electrified;
  • attractive appearance.

Over time, denim products fade and rub off. These disadvantages can be explained by the large presence of cotton in the composition. Among other denim fabrics, denim can be recognized by its bright front side and light back side.

Suede leather

Fabric is an artificial substitute similar kind natural leather. It is considered a humane and environmentally friendly material. The main feature is a soft short pile on the inside and on the face of the canvas. Suede is made from cotton and silk.

Fabric characteristic:

  • dimensional stability;
  • wear resistance;
  • the beauty;
  • the fabric is very pleasant to the touch;
  • affordable price.

Most often, women's bags are sewn from suede. The material looks very rich, aesthetically pleasing and rarely needs additional decoration.

Canvas

The material is made of two layers: upper (polyester/) and lower (and cotton). Due to the complex production technology and thickness, the material comes out incredibly strong and dense. Outwardly, the canvas resembles canvas.

Advantages:

  • softness;
  • wear resistance;
  • dimensional stability;
  • water repellency.

Backpacks and durable bags are sewn from canvas, as well as tents and awnings.

Cordura


Cordura looks like canvas

Cordura is considered a type of nylon. The main difference is the special structure of the fiber, which is cut and additionally twisted, which increases the strength of the material. The fabric is very thick, durable, often with a polyurethane coating and water-repellent impregnation. Cordura is four times more durable than nylon.

Other fabric features:

  • reliability;
  • abrasion resistance;
  • repels water and dirt.

However, the material is heavy and expensive. In the cold, Cordura "dubs" and becomes brittle. It is used for tailoring special bags and backpacks for professional hunters, fishermen, tourists.

Lake


Lacquer bags are very popular

Lacquer is an artificial leather with a glossy shiny surface. A special lacquer coating is applied to the nylon base, sometimes with the addition of other materials. Not only bags are made from lacquer, but also skirts, dresses, gloves, furniture upholstery.

Material advantages:

  • elasticity;
  • dimensional stability;
  • a wide selection of colors and textures;
  • wear resistance.

Lacquer does not require specific care. Clean the material with a soapy sponge, and then remove the water with a dry cloth.

Nylon

Synthetic polymer material was developed by the chemical company DuPont in the early twentieth century. To make fiber, polymers are melted and stretched. When hardened, they retain strength and elasticity.

A huge number of types of clothing are made from nylon - underwear, stockings, jackets, cases and backpacks, mainly tourist and sports. Material Features:

  • high wear resistance;
  • ease;
  • strength;
  • dimensional stability;
  • variety of colors, the fabric holds color well;
  • affordable price.

Nylon does not absorb moisture, deteriorates due to chlorine and is highly electrified. A nylon backpack is a durable, reliable product that will prove itself more than once during a hike from the best side.

Oxford


Oxford fabric bags

Synthetic fabric, which is made of nylon and polyester with durable weaving "gunny" - "two threads through two threads". Coated with colorless polyurethane to protect against wind and moisture. Thanks to nylon, the fabric does not wipe off and does not respond well to chemicals. This is the perfect fabric for travel backpacks.

Material advantages:

  • elasticity;
  • strength;
  • moisture resistance;
  • affordable price.

Unfortunately, Oxford deforms when heated strongly, so the products are stored away from batteries and not placed near a fire. Oxford also accumulates static electricity.

Twill

Smooth fabric with a diagonal weave pattern. - This is a twill fabric, that is, the main threads smoothly bend around the ducks, forming a silky fabric resembling satin. The basic materials for making twill are wool and silk. It is also possible to add natural cotton and synthetics (polyester, for example).

Positive features of twill:

  • perfectly retains its shape;
  • color fastness (does not fade and does not fade);
  • ease of care;
  • aesthetic appearance.

Twill is also used to sew things for which strength is the main parameter (raincoats, overalls, overalls).

eco-leather


Eco-leather is a good material for bags

Artificial substitute for natural leather. Usually consists of two layers - a woven textile fabric and a polymeric top layer. color, and also give it a texture indistinguishable from natural.

For the base use:

  • cotton;
  • polyester.

Main characteristics:

  • strength;
  • elasticity;
  • hypoallergenicity;
  • breathability;
  • dimensional stability;
  • ease of care;
  • the outer layer does not absorb water and dirt;
  • does not stiffen in the cold.

To clean light dirt from eco-leather, it is usually enough to wipe the product with soapy water and wipe it dry. Animals are not used to make the material, so eco-leather is humane and environmentally friendly.

Lining fabrics

Lining fabrics are needed to hide the rough seams inside the bag, as well as create additional pockets and sections. Most often, a combination of synthetic and natural fibers is used, because it is chemical materials that give the product special strength and moisture resistance.

Lining fabrics are also needed for outerwear, skirts, dresses and tracksuits.

  • Atlas - smooth fabric with a silky sheen. It is made by a special, "satin" weave of threads - the weft is hidden under the warp, covering it with a continuous layer. Initially, the fabric was made only from natural silk. Now the presence of synthetics is acceptable, the presence of which can be clarified on the label. Advantages: density, reliability, wear resistance, hygiene. It also keeps its shape well and does not electrify. Absorbs moisture and hence dirt. That is why the material is not used for bulky shopping bags and backpacks. Satin lining is suitable for miniature clutches.
  • Viscose- artificial matter, which is obtained by processing cellulose. Viscose is considered a more reliable material than satin. Advantages of the fabric: strength and hygroscopicity, it glides softly and does not become electrified. The price is very affordable. The material is used for light summer bags.
  • Cupro- the material looks almost the same as natural silk, but is made from cellulose and organic cotton. Features: strength, softness, elasticity, smoothness. does not wrinkle at all. It is considered the most expensive fabric made from cellulose.
  • Polyester- universal synthetic fabric of polyester origin. The material is very durable and easy to care for. In addition, the fabric does not wrinkle, does not accumulate static electricity, and is also resistant to moisture. Polyester is not hygroscopic, so it does not absorb dirt well.
  • satin- a shiny material that is made from silk and cotton threads. Reminiscent of satin, but the surface of the satin is formed by weft threads, not warps. It is a reliable and dense material. Satin does not wrinkle and does not rub.
  • Grid- an interesting fabric with large cells between the warp and weft threads. It is usually used to decorate backpacks and external patch pockets, as well as for internal zoning. Most often used synthetic.
  • Taffeta- Rigid dimensionally stable fabric, does not wrinkle. The front side shimmers softly. are made from silk, cotton and synthetic threads.

The lining helps to maintain a decent appearance of the product for a long time. Also, thanks to the lining, internal fittings are attached - fasteners, "zippers". It is from the lining fabric that partitions and secret pockets inside the bags are made.

It is important that the lining fabric is even and strong, and does not crumble (otherwise, the inside of the bag will soon be a picturesque fringe).

Handles, fasteners and lining are the elements due to which the bag most often ends up in repair. That is why it is important to choose a product not only by external features, but also by the quality of the internal arrangement.
