Even if you say leather in a bite, the materials used are various. Let's introduce the animal leather used for leather products, from the leather that is mainstream at anshare to rare leather.
【Cow】
Since ancient times, the term “leather products” has always meant cowhide leather, which is said to be durable and beautifully finished. Even if you look at the leather products industry, cowhide will occupy an overwhelmingly high proportion.
【pig】
Some people may have a strong image of overseas countries such as Italy as leather production areas. Meanwhile, pigs are the only leather produced and self-sufficient in Japan. The leather is valued for its excellent breathability.
【Horse】
Unlike cows, horses exercise much more, so they have less excess fat, thinner skin, and lighter and softer leather. Characterized by its strength, lightness and softness, horse leather is often used for interiors and leather wear, and is also used for men's leather accessories such as wallets.
Some horse sides are called cordovan. Cordovan is highly rare and is characterized by its beautiful luster.
【deer】
If cow leather is familiar overseas, then deerskin has been used in Japan for a long time. It has excellent durability, is soft to the touch, and is effectively used as a care tool.
