Nowadays, it is considered a symbol of class and there are traditions for curing and treating animal hides all over the world. A lot of people like and buy leather products but not many know about the types and varieties of leather available in the market. Here is a list of the most expensive types of leathers in the world: • 4 Most Expensive Types Leathers in 2020 • NappaLeather • Nappa leather is arguably the most costly form of leather worldwide. It is characterized by a soft to the touch full-grained texture since it is made from the skin of little animals like lambs. This type of leather is also known for being very supple and lightweight so it is very easy to wear on your skin as well. You will find Nappa leathers used in making luxury items including alligator belt shoes, luggage, handbags, gloves and clothing items. Further, treating processes for this kind of leather will have a coating of wax and this lends it its smooth and lustrous along with extra strength and durability. If you have one of these at home, you should know the special care routine required to clean the products. Also, Nappa leather with a matte finish is usually brushed to bring out its best look and feel.
Nubuck Leather • Nubuck leather has been a very popular type of leather for its manufacturing process. This type is sanded and/or milled for creating a luxuriant, smooth and supple feel as found in elephant leather. In fact, the processing quality matters so much that certain nubuck leathers can actually cost more than entry-level Nappa leathers. The hallmark characteristics of this kind of leather is its buffed full-grain texture with a soft nap people who know suede are sure to love. • Suede • Suede is arguably the most well-known of leathers marked for its softness. It is made from the underbelly of sheep, cows, deer, goats and pigs and it is less costly than the leathers we have mentioned above. A distinct feature of the suede is the hairy nap on both sides and it can acquire dust or dirt on it very easily. Despite that, it is a very pragmatic leather for daily use and it is usually treated to resist grime buildup from exposure to external elements.
It can also become shinier as you use it if given proper care. That is why it is often found in entry to mid-level luxury leather apparel and accessories like handbags, clothing. • Brushed Hides • Brushed hides are very rudimentary leathers but they are renowned for their thickness and ruggedness. They are made from cow and pigskin washed to create a Nappa-esque or nubuck-like finish. While they are not as exclusive as the other three above and products like alligator belt, stingray belt and elephant leather, these leathers are also available in a range of products.
