Allure Leather
insist on using the top quality leather
for our garments. Having been asked
several times why Allure Leather do not
use lamb skin. The answer is very
simple. Lamb is wonderful to the touch
however it is NOT durable to use on most
of the leather lingerie items especially
corsets. One wear and your items will be
out of shape. Yes it is cheaper to use
lambskin however Allure Leather will not
compromise our quality.
Here is just a small
comparison between Cowhide and lambskin:
COWHIDE:
excellent tough Leather, long a consumer
market favorite. Top Grain or Genuine
Cowhide has been around for decades and
many products are made from it. Because
of its toughness and strength it has
been used in the past for American
pilots, the U.S. Defense Department
today ONLY use flight jackets made of
Cowhide. Genuine Cowhide with modern
technology is now being processed into a
very supple feel to the touch, at times
even rival lambskin in its suppleness.
Some Manufacturers use Split Cowhide or
Buff Cowhide, or the weaker layers of a
hide to make products. Recognized brand
name products such as Allure
Leather only use top Cowhide.
Always buy Top Grain or Genuine Leather
Products. Unfortunately, some Split
Leather products are sometimes labeled
as being �Genuine Leather�.
LAMBSKIN:
Wonderful soft leather. However, it can
be easily damaged if not cared for
properly. It is weak in nature, it
stretches if it is not used properly.
Excellent quality Lambskin can demand a
high price tag. Two of the best current
market examples are USA Lambskin and New
Zealand Lambskin. Two of the worst
quality lambskins are India lambskin and
Pakistan lambskin. Because lambskin
supple nature, it is considered �Luxury
Leather�. Women Consumers seem to love
the feel of the Lambskin more than Men.
It is recommended that lambskin items to
be lined with fabric in order to
maintain the shape of the garment,
otherwise garments usually bent out of
shape or rips easily.
