Without going deep into the the #chemistry of leather, we will try to explain some of the basics of the leather.
Leather refers to the #animal #skin or #hides. Different hides are known for different qualities. for example, #lambskin or #goatskin are famous for their softness while the cow hides for their #strength.
One of the common misconception about leather are the terms #realleather and #genuineleather. Thanks to those #marketing tactics, the moment people see that they are just certain that this thing is the best leather. In fact, the reality is quite far from that. If you talk about #quality, these two types are the lowest. What is the best leather than?
The top grain or the full grain #leather is the most superior quality leather. Due to the rarity of the term used many people are unaware of it. This is the leather which had the hair on the skin and hence the granular look which is considered premium. Another aspect is the thickness of the leather which is better in grain leather and hence it is one of the best kinds of leather.
Some of the famous brands in leather like #michaelkors #coach #gucci #prada #fendi #burberry #Fossil #harleydavidson #tommyhilfiger #timberland #ralphlauren #armani #louisvuitton may clearly state the type of leather used in their product otherwise you will just notice its 100% leather.
#Suede leather or #split leather is the bottom part of the split without the grain.It has its own uses but the #fashion #industry prefers the grain leather (Top grain or Full grain). This kind is quite famous in the #manufacturing #industry where #safety is preferred over look and #design
In addition, leather may be treated in different ways to give a better look and feel.
