There Are Two Primary Types of Leather Widely Available

by Nick Romero 16 Feb 2025

There are two primary types of leather widely available: Genuine leather and Top Grain Leather. It is important to understand the distinctions between the two and how they compare to other types of leather to determine which is best suited for leather accessories.

Genuine Leather

It may seem desirable, but it is the lowest grade. It is made from leftover material after separating higher-quality layers. They are mainly composed of corium, the softer and more malleable part of the hide. They’re also less durable and prone to tearing compared to grain leather. Typically, it may be less expensive but has lower quality and durability than top-grain or full-grain leather.

Top Grain leather

It is almost entirely composed of grain, the most durable part of the hide. It’s made from the top half of an animal’s hide, with the outermost layer sanded down for a smooth appearance. Products made of top-grain leather are high-quality and long-lasting, such as hats, jackets, boots, luggage, belts, and gun holsters. Typically, made from cowhide or buffalo hide. It is more expensive than genuine leather, but better quality.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
