Calfskin is a type of leather made from the hide of young cattle, typically less than six months old. It is known for its softness, smooth texture, and durability, making it a popular choice for high-quality products such as shoes, bags, and wallets. The fine grain of calfskin gives it an elegant appearance, often sought after in luxury items. Due to its lightweight nature, calfskin is easier to work with compared to other leathers. It can be dyed in various colors and finishes, allowing for versatility in design. Many artisans and brands, including Hermès and Gucci, use calfskin to create premium leather goods.
