♥What are top-grain cowhide and second-grain cowhide? ♥
♡ Top-grain cowhide
The outermost layer of cowhide after cutting has a natural leather texture and feel, good extensibility, and strong strength, elasticity and processability.
The natural material full of vitality, the top-grain cowhide, due to the differences in the growth environment and process of animals, has uneven patterns, wrinkles and pores, all of which are the marks left by nature. Therefore, we have retained these rare natural attributes, which is also the charm of genuine leather.
♡ Two layers of cowhide
Also known as cowhide split film transfer leather, cowhide is horizontally cut into the second layer of two or even three layers, covered with a layer of nano-silicone film and then pressed into shape. It not only retains the moisture absorption and breathability of genuine leather, but also enhances the wear resistance and water resistance of the coating.
♥What other commonly used materials are there? ♥
♡ Oil wax leather
The surface of the cowhide is sprayed with a layer of high-quality waxy material. After being polished and colored, it immediately shows a soft waxy luster that is crystal clear and transparent, giving the leather an excellent texture that is warm and smooth. There are no obvious leather lines or pores, and it is resistant to polishing and grinding.
♡ Silicone composite leather
Organosilicon composite leather is a new type of environmentally friendly leather material synthesized from organosilicon polymers. The leather material perfectly inherits the natural properties of organosilicon materials - such as wear resistance, wrinkle resistance, mold resistance, water repellency, non-toxicity, no odor, and long service life.
Wear-resistant and foldable: No obvious cracks after multiple frictions, and it can resist the rubbing during daily use, thus extending the service life of the bag.
Non-toxic and odorless: Free of harmful substances such as formaldehyde and phthalates, it is non-toxic and harmless after long-term use.
Anti-stain and water-repellent: Not afraid of splashes from beverages, coffee or tea. Stains can be easily removed with water, saving time and effort.
♥ TIPS for Leather Care ♥
♡When in daily use, it is necessary to pay attention to moisture-proofing, pressure-proofing and chemical corrosion prevention. If stained, use a soft cotton cloth or sponge brush dipped in a special genuine leather cleaner to gently wipe. Do not scrub vigorously with a brush. After drying in a cool place, apply leather oil. Avoid direct sunlight. When not in use, hang or lay the leather goods flat to prevent them from being dented and wrinkled by other things, which may damage the genuine leather fibers and affect the appearance and lifespan of the leather goods
♡If there are scratches on the surface of the oil wax leather, just use a cotton cloth dipped in a small amount of leather oil to wipe the scratched area. Because the oil wax skin is rich in oil, it only needs to be gently wiped and maintained with a cotton cloth on a daily basis. There is no need to apply oil or wax.
