The leather is wonderfully soft and flexible, yet strong and durable over time. With a protective epidermal layer and up to an inch of widely spaced subdermal collagen fibers, buffalo leather offers unparalleled strength and flexibility.
A Brief History of Leather -
Leathermaking has been practiced for over 7,000 years. Buffalo leather was first domesticated in Asia over 6,000 years ago, and the main leather producers today are China and India.
Individuality -
Hides depend on the age, sex, maturity, and lifespan of each animal. Demographics also play an important role in individuality. Color variations and slight markings are part of its identity.
Leather Tanning -
Vegetable tanning is one of the oldest methods known to man. Vegetable-tanned leather also tends to age better and develops a rich patina over time. We extract tannins from different parts of the plant and impart a desirable color to the leather.
Sustainable Leather -
The durability of sustainable leather products is legendary. Buffalo leather is up to three times thicker and more flexible than cowhide, resulting in exceptionally durable and comfortable upholstered products. Its elasticity and durability give it high tear resistance. It is flame-resistant, meaning it won't burn or melt. In other words, it's one of the strongest upholstery materials known to man. Incredible Range uses suede goat leather to give a smooth texture to the lining of the bag's flap.
Adaptability -
Leather is a natural material that absorbs, releases moisture, and breathes, much like our skin. This allows it to adapt perfectly to the temperature.
Leather Aging -
With proper care, buffalo leather products last a lifetime and develop a rich patina over time, enhancing the beauty of the leather and making it your own unique antique.
How to Care for Leather Products -
The leather fibers are smooth and durable, preventing the penetration of lint, hair, or dust, making them easy to clean. It's best to wipe them directly with a clean, damp cloth. We can recommend cleaners and conditioners to keep them beautiful and shiny year after year.
