Why do leather products have such a range of prices?



"My partner wants me to buy him something made of leather for Christmas, but I'm confused by the wide variety of prices for leather products. For example, in one store you can buy leather jackets for under $100 (USD) but in another store they cost almost $700! Is there a reason for the difference?"

It can be confusing trying to work out why there is such a wide variety of prices for leather products. Items can range from tens to thousands of dollars. How do you know when you are getting a bargain or being ripped off? While the following notes won't make you an expert, they may explain why some products cost more than others ...

I hope that gives you some things to look out for. Happy shopping and best wishes for the holiday season!
