Genuine leather may sound like the real deal but it is actually lower-quality leather! It is not as durable as high-quality leather grades like full-grain leather or top-grain leather.
How is it made?
Genuine leather comes from leftover leather after the manufacture of high-end products.
Made from the less strong and lower layers of a hide, it is often treated with leather scraps or chemicals for a uniform appearance.
Is genuine leather good leather?
Don't be fooled by its name! Genuine leather might not age well and get stretch marks over time, but it's a great budget-friendly option if you can't splurge on high-end leather.
Why choose full-grain leather?
For durability! As the strongest and densest hide layer, it is more resistant to wear and tear and last longer. Its high quality, luxurious aesthetics and longevity makes it truly worth the money!
