What animal type is the most famous to use as a raw material to produce leather?

If we look at the branded leather bag, most of them were produced from bovine or calf leather. The benefit of bovine leather is much more than others such as its hardness, thickness, and size are suitable and easiest to manage.



The hardness, I did not say that is the most durable leather because if compare with an alligator, or stingray, it might have longer self-live than the bovine but its hardness and thickness are difficult to deal with.

The thickness, if you see the bovine leather's cross-section under the magnifying glass, you will see the fiber of the leather structure align from the tight layer at the top to the loose layer at the bottom part. You can also order the factory, how thick you need. However, compare with others, for example, snakes, the skin is too thin. In most cases of snakeskin bags, they need to attach with other leather mostly bovine to make the skin thicker and more durable.

The size, of the branded bag and the size of the material, are also important because if the material is too small, it needs to connect with many pieces to make a bag. Therefore, the branded bag prefers to use 1 big piece of the material to avoid unnecessary connecting with leads to the handbag's durability as well.



The branded bags are the result of millions of ideas and the rise up the learning curve of the craftmanship from the old generation to the young generation with developing to hamony with the present. Every detail is full of the sensibility of the designer's spirit. There contained an invisible value. There are much more than a handbag.
