Genuine leather wallets are typically a split grain or bonded material. Split Leather is the lower level of the dermis (skin) that has been sheared off the top grain. A finish is applied to the top surface to imitate that of the top grain leather. Bonded leather is made of bits or scraps of leather which are then ""bonded"" together into a single piece of leather. Manufacturers typically split hide into the outer most and inner most layers. Genuine leather is the most popular form of leather you will find in wallets because of its affordability.
Wallets come in different styles and can be made from a variety of materials. Among the variety of materials available on the market today, leather wallets stand out best. It’s not only a popular choice owing to the qualities of leather, but also because of its durability and if well maintained can last for years looking crisp and clean. Aside from its durability, leather wallets tend to look even better as time goes by.
Leather wallet accessories and wallets have a wonderful smell that many men and women enjoy. They get the scent from the tanning oils and chemicals used in the tanning process. The tanning of leather dates back 5,000 years to the Egyptians, who have the first recorded methods of tanning, hides.
Most of the leather used in the world comes from the U.S.A. where most of the leather coin purses, leather key wallets, leather chain wallets, leather card cases and men’s leather wallets are made. The hides are preserved in salt until they reach the tanning factories around the world, mostly in China and Korea.
