| Top leather is high quality leather made from the outer layer of a cowhide, which can be classified into the following grades:
Full grain leather- Leather that has not been buffed with buffing machines. Natural characteristics, such as growth marks and natural grain, are preserved.
Slightly corrected leather- Leather that has been lightly buffed with buffing machines. A small amount of coating pigments is used to cover imperfections on the surface. Natural characteristics are largely preserved.
Corrected leather- Leather that has been extensively buffed with buffing machines. Coating pigments are used to cover imperfections on the surface and printed patterns are embossed into the leather. The natural grain and most growth marks are no longer visible.
Split leather is a lower layer of a cowhide, which is processed and used to produce leather products. It is often used for the back and the sides of finished upholstered furniture. For each type of leather, we are able to provide a full range of print patterns and colors as required by our customers. |
