Genuine Leather
Genuine just means real: can be great leather…..could be junk…there are several tests, but the best test is
“burning”. Real leather does not dissolve and smells like burning hair when burned. I have worked with leather all my life And although it is true that many times products with the stamp of real leather are complete garbage.
This is a very common myth. It is not a statement of quality but of composition. Although full grain leather or genuine top grain are broad terms used to describe leather, they are not grades.
They have specific meanings and one is not necessarily “better” than others. More often, when they do not go into more details about the skin (but simply – real) it is not of excellent quality. But “scores” is a completely complex thing!! “Real” rules, just means real. We actually used it as a “positive term” in the 1970s and 1980s (my tags on the back say “genuine leather and suede goods”).
In fact, if you called a tannery and asked: Is it real leather, is it full grain leather? Is it full grain leather? You would get “yes” to all the answers! All genuine leather is “genuine” or genuine from the tanner’s point of view. Any leather that is not suede is considered top grain, which includes full-grain leather with the external markings unchanged. From a consumer point of view it is different: many times when you see “original” it is of lower quality, but not only because of the lower quality. Real / genuine leather is much more plentiful than good stuff. The lowest quality is actually called “split finish” or “PU”. Practically this is suede with a layer of thick paint or PU covering it to give the suede a smooth look, this is not always the case.
Plenty of companies use the term “genuine leather” only as a statement to distinguish it from synthetic leather: Red Wing Heritage for example, use the term “genuine leather” to refer to a type of very high quality full grain or top grain leather. Top grain leather at the consumer level (not at the tannery level) usually means that something has been done to change the outer layer of the leather. This can change the quality of the leather enormously.
Many commercial manufacturers use polishing machines that “mow” a significant part of the upper skin, which weakens the product over time.
A quality leather bag will accompany you for many years to come and will look better over the years, just like a wine that gets better with time.
A quality leather bag costs quite a bit of money, so you should do some research and not rush to buy!
