Questions
What is the difference between cowhide and lambskin?
Cowhide is thicker, tougher and holds its shape. Lambskin is thinner, softer and lighter, with a finer grain. Cowhide wears better; lambskin feels better.
Why do some products not state a leather grade?
Because we can only state a grade when the supply chain can evidence it. Where it cannot, we name the leather but leave the grade off rather than guessing.
Is leather heavier than nylon?
Yes, noticeably, at the same size. Every product page lists weight so you can compare directly.
How should I store a leather bag?
Stuffed lightly to hold its shape, in a dust bag, out of direct sunlight. Do not hang a leather bag by its strap for long periods — it stretches the strap.
