Not all leather is created equal. To show you how are bags are made to stand out from the crowd, we’re here to explain the different types of leather used for leather products.
Full Grain & Top Grain
Full grain and top grain leather are similar, but not exactly the same. Full grain is the entire grain without any layers cut out while top grain is everything except a few millimeters on the very top of the leather.
The difference here is that full grain leather is more durable and less uniform in appearance. It shows all the imperfections and marks from the skin. Top grain leather is sturdy, but not quite as durable as full grain leather, and it has a more uniform finish.
Both of these leather types make up the highest quality of leather. They’re often the type of leather you find in the best bags, shoes, and other leather products. Because of their durability, full grain and top grain leather are both more likely to last for years with proper care, while thinner leather may fade out.
