Split Leather
Definition
Split leather is often underestimated, yet it holds its place in the leather goods world. Derived from the lower layers of the hide, it is less expensive and more accessible than full-grain leather. While not the top choice for high-quality straps, it is used in more economical products where durability is not the main concern. Its suede-like texture offers a different aesthetic, often appreciated for a more casual look. In the strap-first community, split leather can influence strap choices for those seeking an affordable option without longevity claims. For Milano Straps, split leather is suitable for those looking for an economical and versatile option.
