Against a classic leather bag, the jelly bag banks on lightness, colour, a vegan side and an accessible price — while making a much more modern statement. Which one is right for you? An honest comparison.

| Price | Affordable | Often high |
| Care | A damp cloth is enough | Specific products |
| Waterproofing | Yes | No (dislikes water) |

The jelly bag, for whom?
For those who want a fashionable, fun and easy-to-live-with piece without breaking the bank: a light, waterproof, vegan and very photogenic accessory.
The leather bag, for whom?
For those looking for a classic investment and a noble material, accepting a higher budget and more demanding care.
The verdict
If you're after style, colour and practicality at a fair price, the jelly bag wins hands down. Leather remains a safe bet for a more formal use. Good news: given its price, the jelly can be collected in several colours.
