GENUINE LEATHER

The term "genuine leather" indicates that a product is made from real animal hide, but it is actually the lowest of the high-quality leathers. It is
important not to confuse "genuine leather" with "full-grain" or "top-grain" leather, which are higher grades. A product labeled "genuine leather"
is more affordable and widely available, but it is also less durable and won't age as gracefully as higher grades.

Genuine Leather:
Here’s where the term comes into play. Genuine leather is made from the layers of the hide that remain after the top layers have been split off
for higher-end products. It undergoes a process of sanding, bu ng, and sometimes embossing to give it a more uniform look. Genuine leather
is more affordable than full-grain and top-grain leather but is also less durable and tends to wear out more quickly.

Although "genuine leather" tends to be more affordable, there are a number of downsides that can be quite insurmountable. A few of them
include:

Durability: Genuine leather is not as durable as higher-grade leathers. It can wear out and show signs of aging more quickly.

Aging: Unlike full-grain leather, which develops a desirable patina, genuine leather tends to look worn and aged over time without the

same attractive characteristics.
Quality: It lacks the natural texture and character of higher-grade leathers, often requiring more maintenance to keep it looking good.
