Can you briefly introduce the genuine leather, top layer, and second layer
1. First layer cowhide
The top layer of cowhide is peeled off from the top layer of cowhide and is also one of the highest grade leather.
The texture of the top layer cowhide is usually soft and has high durability.
Due to the preservation of the natural texture and characteristics of the leather on the top layer, the first layer of cowhide has a more unique charm and texture in appearance.
Unlike second layer cowhide, first layer cowhide is usually not coated or dyed, retaining its natural appearance characteristics.
Over time, the top layer of cowhide will exhibit a more natural and plump appearance.
2. Two layer cowhide
Second layer cowhide, also known as sub cowhide, is peeled from the bottom or sub bottom layer of cowhide.
This type of leather is usually thicker and undergoes certain processing to hide its flaws.
Due to lower production costs, the price of second layer cowhide is relatively cheaper.
However, compared to other high-end leathers, its quality may be slightly inferior.
Second layer cowhide is usually treated with coating or dyeing to make its appearance more uniform and smooth.
Overall, first layer cowhide is more refined than second layer cowhide and is commonly used to produce high-quality leather products, such as high-end leather shoes, leather bags, etc. And two-layer cowhide is more commonly used in affordable products.
