2. A small suitcase to carry clothing and accessories for a weekend trip. valise. a small overnight bag for short
trips.
Soft suitcases are made with features designed to help you organize all of your items. They are reliable. The
thicker the fabric is, the longer usage they will have. Almost all of them have expandable cases which will give
you more room for unexpected pieces you will have to carry on your way back.
The main benefit of soft suitcases is you can fill them up because the fabric expands. You are not able to do that
with hard — side suitcases. Soft suitcases are not easy to maintain, they get dirty quick. Unlike the hard — sided
suitcases, soft ones will not break if they are not filled up. Another benefit of soft luggage is that it can fit
easily in the shaper at the airport.

4. ►PU leather is actually one type of
faux leather. PU(Polyurethane) leather fabrics are
faux leather made from high quality plastic materials,
so as to be much cheaper than real animal leather.
Pros:
Cost effective
Higher Cutting Value(Less wastage)
Easy to produce
Variations of different feel and texture is easy to make
Handling is easy
Stitching can be done with simpler machine
Skivving not needed
PU Leather
Cons:
Has no breathable characteristics
No good smell like leather
Not durable like leather/cloth
Cannot replace Leather Lingerie as its not safe to wear directly
Does not provide insulation as good,compared to Leather Jacket
Peels off after a time
Gets damaged easily
Looks Fake
Not safe to wear for long when used in shoes in the heat

6. Neoprene
►Neoprene or polychloroprene or pc-rubber is a family of synthetic rubbers that are produced by polymerization of chloroprene.
►Neoprene exhibits good chemical stability and maintains flexibility over a wide temperature range
►Neoprene laptop sleeves have become increasingly popular, as they are lightweight and stylish.
Buyers should consider their everyday lifestyle, as well as their usual laptop usage habits, when choosing the material for a laptop
sleeve.
►Preferred thickness for making the sleeves would be around 1.5-2mm, if we go beyond that then the sleeves will be slightly
heavier and once you add in the laptop, it won’t look sleek and skinny

7. Polyester , Nylon and Canvas
►Heavy-duty backpacks are generally made of ultra-strong nylon material and YKK-grade zippers and straps of nylon. Nylon
and polyester are the most popular pack materials. Heavier fabrics like canvas also make durable bags that you will be using for
years
►Nylon and polyester are both lightweight and durable synthetic fabrics that share many of the same properties, such as easy
care, wrinkle resistance, stretch resistance and shrink resistance.
►Nylon is softer than polyester but also stronger, while polyester is faster drying, easier to dye and abrasion resistant.
►Canvas is made of cotton which is a durable fabric- extremely durable plain-woven fabric. The same plain weave that makes
canvas strong also makes it durable. A canvas bag can last for years, even decades, without tearing or wearing through.

10. ► Nylon can be used as a matrix material in composite materials with reinforcing
components such as carbon fiber or glass, which increase its durability
exponentially.
► Not only is it washable, nylon is also incredibly lightweight
► Nylon won’t fray like other luggage materials, and its synthetic fibers have the
added bonus of repelling water.

11. Canvas
►Modern canvases are made of either cotton or linen. Canvas also has two basic
types: plain and duck.
►There are also various subtypes of canvas: waxed, waterproof, water-resistant,
stripe, printed, fireproof, and dyed.
►There is a reason canvas has been used in luggage for such a long time, and
that is because it has been proven to be a strong, durable fabric.

12. Ballistic nylon
►Ballistic nylon was originally used in the flak jackets of World War II airmen to
protect against debris and fragmentation caused by bullet and artillery shell
impacts.
►This material has proven to be one of the most trusted and durable fabrics used
in luggage manufacture.
►Ballistic nylon’s “filament” yarn makes it a step smoother and stronger than
common nylons, which is less compact and features a rougher weave.

13. PVC leather
►PVC is a more resistant leather alternative.
►PVC is also more commonly used in the making of luggage, because it
is waterproof and much cheaper to manufacture than leather.
►When manufactured to a high standard, PVC also has an incredibly
beautiful feel and aesthetic.
►It has a softer and more luxurious feel than standard nylon designs
while at the same time proving to be a durable alternative to leather.

14. Tegris
►Tegris starts out with a series of tape-like strands of polypropylene.
►The strands of polypropylene are woven into a fabric-like sheet. This sheet is then
heated, pressed, and stretched to form one piece which can then be molded.
►Depending on the product, there could potentially be many more layers pressed
together. The outer layers are melted together to form a type of resin coat.
►The flexibility of Tegris means it will actually perform better when fully packed as
its exterior becomes that much more rigid.
