You really need leather products!

1-FULL GRAIN LEATHER

Full Grain Leather is the best quality leather sitting at the top of the chain. It refers to the outside part of the animal’s hide just below the hair. The term “Full” means that it has not been buffed or sanded, which is a process that is used to remove imperfections or marks. The tight porous nature of the leather prevents moisture retention but it also means that it is thicker.

2-TOP GRAIN LEATHER

Top Grain Leather is like full grain but with a twist. It undergoes light sanding to shave off a few millimeters from the top, removing any imperfections.

It does have a smooth finish and can take a stain better but is worse for breathability and patina.

3-CORRECTED GRAIN/GENUINE LEATHER

These days, everybody brands leather as “Genuine” and tries to pass it as high quality leather. In fact, it is the left-overs after using the top layers for better types of leather. The definition is quite unclear and it serves as a buzzword for uninformed consumers. Any type of hide from different animals can produce a leather item and be advertised as “Genuine“. This makes it increasingly confusing since Full Grain Leather is also Genuine. But then again, they wouldn’t need to advertise that.

4-GENUINE AND SUEDE LEATHER

Suede is the inner surface of animal hides, visible on the underside of leather. Leather is a material created by processing the hides, pelts and skins of animals in a range of ways.

The beautifully soft and light nature of suede makes it perfect for clothing and high-quality fashion accessories, including bags, shoes and more, as well as being a lining for sturdier leather items
