LEATHER DESCRIPTIONS

Our leather products are made of several types of leather, including Top Grain Leather, Bonded Leather, Man-Made Leather, and so forth. One many of our top quality products, we will offer Top Grain or Nappa Leather and then offer another leather (such as man-made leather) so that you have your choice of materials for different prices. If the leather material is not specifically identified, it is best to assume that the material is man-made leather. The choice is yours - all of our products are quality products that are offered at reasonable prices.
