About PU leather
PU (polyurethane) leather gives the appearance of leather with uniform colour and texture across every piece, which makes it practical for large corporate, retail and fashion orders. It is lighter than genuine leather, easy to clean and available in a wide range of colours and grains.
Things to consider: Grade matters — thicker, better-backed PU lasts longer. Confirm the grade on the sample.
About jute
Jute is a natural fibre grown and processed extensively in eastern India. Jute bags are sturdy, biodegradable and carry an eco-friendly image that retailers, brands and event organisers value. Laminated jute adds water resistance and a cleaner print surface; unlaminated jute keeps a fully natural look.
Things to consider: Natural jute has a coarse texture — fine logo detail prints better on laminated jute or juco.
