PACKAGING: Clear plastic bagPRODUCT: PU leather and fabric holster for secateursFUNCTIONALITY: Apparently PU leather is an artificial leather made of thermoplastic polymer (so it is considered vegan if it is 100% PU). It is cheaper than leather and doesn't absorb water. On the down side, it can look fake, it can crack and tear over time and since it is made of plastic, it isn't the most eco-friendly.Yes, this holster does look like fake leather, but it also appears robust and well made. The belt loop is made from canvas and is large enough to accommodate a wide belt. The holster has a net type top section. I am at a loss to know why it has been made this way. I cannot see the benefit or the intended purpose. It just seems like a weak point in the design to me, as I can see the point of my secateurs catching on this as I insert them.Also, the top is very slightly tapered in, so it is narrower at the top. The corners are held together by rivets. Again, I can't see the benefit of having the top tapered in, it just prevents larger tools being inserted.My Darlac Bypass secateurs fit in nicely and remained in place throughout the day.At the time of my review the secateurs were £14.99, which I think is a little steep.
