Water buffalo leather has a unique fiber structure that is densely packed and interwoven, creating a tight and strong structure.
The leather has a thick grain layer that provides further strength and resilience.
Water buffalo leather is thicker and heavier than cowhide leather, which gives it added durability and resistance to wear and tear.
The leather has a natural grain pattern that varies from hide to hide, making each piece of leather unique.
Water buffalo leather is treated with tannins, which are natural compounds that help to preserve the leather and make it more resistant to water, rot, and insects.
The tanning process also gives the leather its characteristic rich color and suppleness.
