In order to protect your leather shoulder bags and wallets, it is important to use the right type of leather for your purposes. There are three basic types of leather, with various uses: leather, cowhide, and synthetic.
Leather: Leather has the highest quality, highest durability, and is usually preferred by the leather bag industry. Leather can come in a variety of thicknesses, colors, and finishes. The best leather for carrying is cowhide, which is a type of leather that is raised from the cow’s hide.

Cowhide leather bags typically have an average thickness of about 1-1/2 to 2 inches. Cowhide can be very heavy, with an average weight of 10-15 pounds.
