Therefore, the authenticity and quality of the leather is, therefore, the first element in determining the grade of a leather sofa.
The main types of leather are first-layer leather, split leather, and artificial leather.
First-layer leather
The first layer leather is the first layer of skin from the cattle, the surface of which has the original skin characteristics and
provides a unique and natural look. It's a natural material, and also the most durable.
Top-grain leather is a type of first-layer leather, made by removing the hard upper-grain layer during the processing of the first layer of hides.
It allows the craftsman to hand-colour each part of the leather.
Therefore, the surface of sofas made from top grain leather can be given a rich colour and style while retaining the natural traces of the leather.
