Genuine Leather: Sounds Fancy, But It Ain’t

Here’s what a lot of companies don’t want to tell you:
Genuine leather isn’t great.
It’s made from the leftover layers of a hide—basically scraps that are glued together, coated, and pressed to look decent. But under that surface? It’s weak, overly processed, and breaks down fast.

We see it all the time—brands hyping up “genuine leather” like it’s premium. Truth is, it’s just cheap stuff dressed up to fool you.

What Happens to Genuine Leather Over Time

It might feel okay on day one. But give it a few months of real life—pockets, sweat, and daily use—and it starts falling apart. Peeling, cracking, flaking… it’s a wallet that looks worse the more you use it.

Full-Grain Leather: Built Different

Now here’s where things change.

Full-grain leather is made from the top layer of the hide—the strongest, most durable part. It keeps the natural grain and imperfections that give it character. It’s tough. It breathes. It ages beautifully.

Instead of breaking down, full-grain leather breaks in. Every scar, crease, and bit of patina tells a story. It’s not damage—it’s character. It’s yours.
