Leather for wallets and purses
Taking out a leather wallet or purse has always been synonymous with elegance or distinction, not to mention its resistance and duration. A good wallet or purses can go in your pocket for many many years.
There are several models, sizes, or features that exist, so let's see a few examples:
FLOWER BEEF : This type of leather is the highest quality, resistant and durable. It is obtained from the outermost layer of the skin and this gives it some very special characteristics:
- It is very breathable.
- It is easy to clean.
This skin tells us a unique and different story in each case. Therefore, it may have small imperfections due to injuries, bites or wrinkles that the animal may have had throughout its life.
GREASED: A variant of the flower beef. Its oiled finish gives it a silky touch and in turn protects it from water, it is waterproof.
Another aspect that makes it very attractive is its aged appearance and durability.
It can be said that this skin is alive since the fat moves with use and gives it character as we use it.
CALF: As its name suggests, it is obtained from the youngest calves, which gives the calf fine hair with very close follicles, and the resulting skin is very smooth, so its texture is soft and velvety.
They are usually 1 mm skins. approximately thick with a firm and resistant feel.
This type of leather is considered the top of the range when it comes to cowhide.
HORSE: Horse skin is usually vegetable tanned and can be dyed, engraved and embossed, which makes it one of the star products of any leather craftsman.
Its possibilities are endless, as well as its characteristic shine and aged color that will change with use and time.
GOAT: Goatskin is a very flexible and resistant material, which makes it one of the most demanded leathers on the market.
Its thinness and resistance allow obtaining the precision and quality required in any design.
Although the skin is thin, it is compact in structure and extraordinarily flexible; that is why it can be worked with great ease.
HAIR: Generally cow or goat skin with natural hair dyed in different shades or patterns to give it exclusivity and showiness.
They imitate all kinds of exotic or fantasy animal.
FANCY: Fantasy leather can be seen in all types of leather, whether of goat or bovine origin.
They are usually prints, perforations or drawings on the leather itself, which make it very showy and daring.
Ideal to give a touch of exclusivity to your projects.
SUEDE: It is obtained from the lower layers of the skin, where it is mechanically divided.
Its touch is velvety due to the sanding it receives during its tanning and it is highly appreciated in many sectors due to its resistance, such as gardening, foundries,...
RECORDED: An engraved skin, as its own name indicates, are skins that have been subjected to a heat iron with a mold.
These molds can imitate different animals, textures, drawings, etc... such as crocodile, snake, lizard, alligator, etc...
They can be skins of any origin, but the most common are bovine skins since they better resist the engraving process.
