Top-grain leather
Top-grain leather is a high-quality material made from the top layer of animal hides, typically from cows. It is known for its durability and natural appearance, as it retains some of the hide's original grain. This type of leather is often sanded and treated to remove imperfections, resulting in a smooth surface that is still breathable.
Unlike full-grain leather, which maintains the entire grain layer, top-grain leather is more pliable and easier to work with. It is commonly used in luxury items such as handbags, wallets, and furniture, offering a balance of elegance and practicality.
