🟤 1. Pure Leather (Genuine Leather)

Pure leather, also known as genuine leather, is made from the natural hide of animals, usually cows. It is durable, breathable, and develops a beautiful patina over time. Each piece is unique, with natural grain and marks.

Pros: Long-lasting / Breathable and flexible / Ages beautifully

Use: Wallets, Laptop Bags, Belt, and Accessory 

🟠 2. Bonded Leather

Bonded leather is made by combining scraps of real leather with polyurethane and adhesives. It is then pressed and finished to look like real leather, but it's much thinner and less durable.

Pros: More affordable than pure leather / Has a leather-like appearance

Cons: Wears out faster / Peels or cracks over time

Use: Budget furniture, Wallets, Laptop Bags, Belt, and Accessory 

 

Synthetic Leather & Rexine

→ Used only for bulk production with machinery.

⚫ 3. Synthetic Leather (Faux Leather / PU Leather)

Synthetic leather is completely man-made, usually from polyurethane (PU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It mimics the look of leather but lacks its natural feel and breathability.

Pros: Vegan and cruelty-free / Water-resistant / Budget-friendly

Cons: Doesn’t last as long as real leather / May feel plastic-like

Use: Wallets, Laptop Bags, and Accessory, (low-cost)

⚪ 4. Rexine

Rexine is a type of artificial leather made from cloth coated with PVC. It's mainly used for low-cost upholstery and industrial use, especially in South Asia.

Pros: Very cheap / Easy to clean

Cons: Not breathable / Cracks and peels easily / Looks less premium

Goatskin

Goat skin leather is a high-quality natural leather made from the hide of goats. It is known for its light weight, softness, and durability, making it a popular choice for both fashion and functional products.

What makes goat leather unique is its natural grain and high oil content, which gives it a smooth texture, slight sheen, and excellent water resistance. Despite being thinner than cowhide, goat leather is strong, flexible, and resistant to wear and tear.

Cowhides

Cowhide is the natural, unbleached skin of a cow, prized for its durability, thickness, and rugged texture. It is one of the most widely used leathers in the world due to its long-lasting quality and versatile applications.

Cowhide retains the natural grain, which makes each piece unique in pattern and feel. It is ideal for both heavy-duty and luxury products, offering excellent resistance to wear and a firm structure that softens over time with use.
