WHAT IS GENUINE LEATHER?

1.What Is Genuine Leather?

The "genuine leather"  name does not mean great leather – it just means there's some leather in the material. In this article, we' ll look at how genuine leather is made, how it stacks up against other types of leather and how to take care of your genuine leather products.

2.How Is Genuine Leather Made?

You're not getting fake lather when you buy genuine – you're just not getting the top. Actually, it simply means that it's not top grain or full grain. It could mean a lot of different things, actually. It's intentionally vague.

In many cases, genuine leather is actually split leather. That means that the lower (inner) layers of the hide are stripped off. The outer, higher-quality parts are "top grain". The ability to take multiple layers from one hide depends on the thickness of the skin. Some skins, like cow, are often able to be split into various levels. Genuine leather can come from the intermediate layers – between top grain and suede. That's in term of position in the hide – not in terms of quality.

At times, genuine leather may also be mixed with leather scraps and artificial materials and bonding agents.

3.Quality

Genuine leather is leather, at least. Of the various possible grains and cuts, it's at the bottom of the list, though. Relative to high-quality leathers like full grain and top grain, it's definitely an inferior product. "Genuine leather" is not as durable and long-lasting as better leather products. It may make a decent first impression but is not going to stand up to ongoing wear and tear.

4.Products Genuine Leather is Commonly Used For

Since genuine leather is almost a catch-all term for anything that's not a higher grade, it can be used in a wide selection of products. Purses and handbags, briefcases and shoes – these are all products that may be made with genuine leather.

What does unite this diversity of products, though, is the lower quality. These are not items that you'll find in high-end retailers. Instead, these will be in department stores, the lower-priced shoes in the shoe department, and mall kiosks.

5.How To Care For Genuine Leather？

Genuine leather is quite easy to maintain and care as it requires a simple wipe down by use of a damp cloth.  This is a task you can perform regularly or even daily if you're in a dry, dusty area. Just be sure the cloth is only damp, not wet.

Polishing is another step you can take to care for your genuine leather products. Many polishes have moisturizing elements. Be sure to shop around and check reviews to see what the best choices are. You can also use a conditioner or cream on your genuine leather products. It helps keep them from cracking or drying out. The products will not shine but will become protected.
