Is the second layer of cattle leather?

Cow hide is a product made of cowhide through special processing, and it is real cowhide. However, due to its special manufacturing process, it is not completely equivalent to normal "genuine leather" in some aspects. The second layer of cowhide is one of the two cowhides that are thinned by putting cowhide in a shovel. One with leather surface is called the first layer, and the other without leather surface and only with fiber layer is called the second layer, which is often called double layer skin. After the cutting surface of the two-layer leather is coated with PU and other coatings, the two-layer finished leather that can be bought can be obtained. This kind of leather not only has the hygroscopicity and dimensional stability of genuine leather, but also has the waterproof and wear resistance of PU artificial leather. Some people also call it transfer film leather. The quality and grade of the second layer of leather are lower than that of the first layer of cowhide, and there is no leather texture like that of the first layer of cowhide. Because the cost is relatively low, there is still a certain market in the production of some products, such as shoes, belts, handbags, bags and so on.
