Hi everyone,
I am in the market for a new leather wallet and I have been hearing a lot about "genuine leather." I know that leather is a popular material for wallets and other accessories, but I am not entirely sure about what "genuine leather" means.
I live in India and I know that there are different types of leather available, but I want to make sure that I am purchasing something that is of good quality and will last me a long time. I know that there are many fake leather products available in the market, and I do not want to make the mistake of purchasing something that is not genuine.
Can someone explain to me what genuine leather is? How can I tell if a product is made of genuine leather? And what should I look for when purchasing a leather product to ensure that it is of good quality and genuine?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi there,
I can share my experience with genuine leather products in India. Genuine leather is basically real leather, made from animal hide. It's not synthetic or fake leather, which is usually made from plastic or other materials. In terms of quality, genuine leather is considered to be the best type of leather because it is durable, strong, and has a unique texture.
When it comes to purchasing leather products, there are a few things you can look for to ensure that they are made of genuine leather. First of all, check the label on the product and make sure it says "genuine leather." You can also check the texture of the leather - genuine leather will usually have an irregular, grainy pattern, while fake leather will look more uniform.
In terms of quality, you can look for leather products that are hand-stitched or have a high level of craftsmanship. These types of products tend to be more expensive, but they are worth the investment because they will last much longer than cheaper, mass-produced leather products.
I recently purchased a genuine leather wallet from a local artisan in India and I have been extremely impressed with its quality. It has a unique texture and is very durable, despite daily use. I would highly recommend looking for local artisans or leather craftsmen in India who specialize in creating high-quality leather products.
Hope this helps!
