The biggest choice of leather scraps in Norway can be found on internet from online retailers, such as Jjensen.no – online portal for scrap leather. Below is a list of the most common types of leather scraps:
Full Grain Leather Scraps
Full grain leather scraps are the most expensive type of scrap available because they are a very high grade, durable leather with a beautiful finish. This type of leather is made from the top layer of the hide, which retains all the natural markings, texture and grain of the original cowhide. Because full grain leather retains these characteristics, it does not need to be finished or treated in any way before it is used in a project.
Top Grain Leather Scraps
Top grain leather scraps are made from a piece of leather that has been sanded and buffed to remove imperfections such as scars and blemishes on the surface while retaining some layers of grain underneath the top layer of finish. Top grain leather is usually made from lesser quality hides that would be considered scrap by other manufacturers but still have some good qualities worth saving for future use. This type of scrap can make great projects because it is easy to work with and easy to maintain over time compared to full or top grain scraps.
Bonded Leather Scraps
Bonded leather scrap is one of the most common types of scrap available today. Bonded leather is created by gluing different pieces of real leather together with a synthetic resin adhesive which gives it its unique look and feel. The glue process however produces an inferior product that has significantly less durability than full grain cowhide or top grain cowhide types of full-grain leathers available today. Most bonded leather products found at big box stores are made with poor quality materials that break down quickly over time due to exposure to sun UV rays heat moisture scratches abrasions etc…
