It is essential to be aware of the life of the animal from which it was derived. Natural conditions and events such as bug bites, fighting other animals, and rolling around can cause scars on the skin that remain when hair is removed to make leather. There are three different types of leather: full grain leather, which is made from the cleanest parts of an animal’s skin; top grain leather, which has the top layer shaved off to make it cleaner; and genuine leather, which is lower quality due to being bonded with glues and painted to look uniform. When buying leather products, consider the type of leather to find something that fits your needs.
