When choosing a travel bag material, faux leather and sheepskin have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the use scenario, personal preferences and budget. Here's a comparison and suggestions:
1. Durability

Sheepskin: It is constructed with natural fibers, which is highly resistant to abrasion and suitable for high-frequency use, such as frequent business trips or outdoor activities. At the same time, the sheepskin is breathable and comfortable to use in summer. However, sheepskin is easy to scratch and deform, so avoid sharp objects.
Faux leather: strong water resistance, suitable for wet environments or rainy areas. The abrasion resistance is moderate, and it is not easy to be damaged in daily use. However, faux leather has poor breathability and may feel stuffy when used for a long time.
Second, the difficulty of maintenance

Sheepskin: It needs regular care, use special maintenance agents, and avoid exposure to the sun and moisture. When storing, it should be filled with anti-deformation and stored separately in a dust bag.
Faux leather: simple to clean, wipe with a damp cloth. No special care is required, suitable for lazy people or those on a budget.
3. Style and appearance

Sheepskin: With a natural texture and soft texture, it is suitable for high-end, vintage or business styles. However, the color options are limited, with classic colors such as black, brown, and off-white predominant.
Faux leather: It can simulate a variety of textures (e.g. crocodile, patent leather) and is available in a wide range of colours for personalisation or modern designs. However, some cheap faux leathers may have a poor texture.
Fourth, environmental protection

Sheepskin: As a material of animal origin, its environmental protection has been questioned. However, some brands use a plant-based tanning process to reduce pollution.
Artificial leather: traditional materials (such as PVC/PU) are difficult to degrade and have poor environmental protection. However, new bio-based artificial leather (such as apple peel and pineapple leaf fiber) is gradually popular, and environmental protection has been improved.
Fifth, the price budget

Sheepskin travel bags: Higher-priced and usually suitable for those on a budget.
Faux leather travel bags: Affordable for those on a budget.

High Use/Outdoor Activities: Choose sheepskin, durable and breathable.
Excursions/wet environments: Choose faux leather, waterproof and easy to clean.
