So what is coated canvas fabric? This may come as a shock to some bag lovers, but simply put, it's PVC-coated cotton canvas (or fabric). Surprisingly, your PVC coated bag is not actually leather. However, it may still have some leather parts.
If you've purchased a coated canvas fabric item and thought it was leather, don't be disappointed as coated canvas fabric does have its own set of benefits. The application of the plastic coating ensures that the handbags made of coated canvas fabric are lightweight and durable - so no more back problems for these connoisseurs from carrying heavy bags!
Its scratch-resistant properties also make it an attractive choice for handbags. Another feature of this material includes water resistance. This makes it easy to clean with the right professional cleaning products.
Coated canvas fabric is a fabric that has a coating on it, usually made of polyurethane. This coating makes the fabric waterproof and gives it some extra structure. Coated canvas fabric is often used in outdoor gear and bags because it can withstand the elements better than other fabrics.
- Wipe away any dirt or debris with a damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing the fabric as this can damage the coating.
- If the cloth is dirty, you can spot clean it with mild soap and water. Again, avoid scrubbing.
- Hang to dry or lay flat to air dry. Do not put coated canvas fabric in the dryer as this will damage the coating.
- If you need to iron coated canvas fabric, do so on a low heat and avoid ironing any seams or zippers.
- Store coated canvas fabric in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.
