What exactly are real leather bags?

The layers of skin from which full-grain and genuine leather are manufactured are the most noticeable distinctions. Genuine leather bags can be manufactured from the layers beneath the top layer of skin, whereas full-grain leather is made from the top layer of skin, which binds the structures together. Another distinction is the surface treatment.
