Why YSK: The term “Genuine Leather” is a marketing term to sell the lowest quality leather possible.
When purchasing a leather product, look for full grain leather or top grain leather instead. These will provide a much higher quality cut of leather that will look and feel much better and last for much longer.
The “leather” made from cork is pretty amazing.
Yeah I have a cork-leather wallet, it’s awesome. Lasting better than my prior two supposedly leather ones. Not sure it would work as a belt though, idk
