Genuine Leather vs. Top Grain Leather — What’s the Difference? 🐂

You may have heard the terms genuine leather and top grain leather, but they don’t mean the same thing.

Genuine leather is a broad term for leather that is made from real animal hide, but it can come from lower layers of the hide and may be heavily processed, sanded, or coated. “Genuine” simply means it’s real leather — it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the highest quality.

Top grain leather comes from the upper portion of the hide, just below the outer surface. It retains more of the hide’s natural grain, making it strong, durable, and naturally beautiful. It can develop a rich patina and character as it ages.

At LZ Craft Company, we choose quality top grain leather because we believe the things you use every day should be made to last.

Quality leather. Thoughtful craftsmanship. Made to last. 🤎

Just another project happening around the shop. 🔨🤎

We decided the leather shop needed another door… so we made it happen.

Take the break. Live your life. One of the joys of owning our own business is getting to set our own schedule and being able to get away. Sure it means some really long days at times but the flexibility is worth it.

Normalize posting the process. 🤎

Not every part of handmade looks polished—but that’s the beauty of it.

From a piece of leather to the finished product, every cut, engraving, stitch, and little detail is part of the story.

This is what goes on behind the scenes at LZ Craft Company. 🐂🤠
