How to specify leather for bags and wallets

The term genuine leather does not identify a precise grade. A useful specification states the animal species, grain or split layer, surface treatment, thickness, temper, color range, and acceptable natural variation. Tannery documents, origin records, and restricted-substance test reports must be checked for the leather article selected for the order.

FAQ

What types of leather do you offer?

Options may include full-grain, corrected-grain, or split cowhide and vegetable-tanned leather articles. Grain layer, surface treatment, and tanning method describe different attributes, so the specification must state each one separately.

Do you provide leather sourcing certifications?

We can source leather to a specified grade and origin. Ask for the current material certificates, compliance documents, and traceability records available for the selected tannery and order.

What is the MOQ for leather products?

MOQ depends on the leather article, color, thickness, grade, cutting yield, construction, and quantity per style. It is confirmed after the product specification and material availability are reviewed.
