The first layer that is sliced/split off the rawhide is called Full Grain
leather. That is the highest quality grade of leather and the part that
is the most durable since it actually had to protect the animal from
all the elements. It is also the most expensive part of the hide, that
is what we use to create our beautiful DiLoro leather wallets, pen sleeves, watch cases,
or our high-end briefcases and handbags, just to give you a few
examples. This part of the leather will develop a beautiful patina over
time and it will only become more beautiful with age. However, this part
of the leather will also show 'imperfections' such as healed scars,
insect bites, wrinkles, veining, etc. all of which are natural
characteristics of Full Grain Leather, and that's exactly what gives it that unique, one-of-a-kind look.
