Black Leather Handbags
Black Leather Handbags
The makers of black leather handbags are too numerous to list, but an internet-based discount handbag source such as Amazon's Leather usually comes from the big meat-producing countries, like the U.S., Australia, and Argentina. Most black leather handbags are made from cowhide. Lamb and calf-skin are used for softer products.
Ostrich is used for the highest-end black leather handbags; follicles give the leather a “goose bump” look. Your black leather handbag might also be from the hide of goat, sheep, alligator, deer, or yak. The lining of your black leather handbag may be pig skin, especially for custom bags made by the major fashion houses. If your bag is “full-grain,” you have a black leather handbag made from the finest raw material; the grain is in its natural state. Other finishes include corrected-grain or top-grain; suede (a single thickness of hide); buckskin (altered by fatty substances then smoked to preserve it); patent leather (given a high gloss, usually by a plastic coating, and Nubuck (a velvety cowhide made by buffing the grain). The leather manufacture process includes tanning and crusting. Tanning is what keeps your black leather handbag from rotting when it gets rained on. In crusting, the hide/skin is thinned, retanned and lubricated. Drying and softening follow. If your black leather handbag is black patent, a black lacquer finish is applied. |
