Bonded Leather

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bonded Leather , or "Reconstituted Leather" is not really a true leather but a man-made material composed of 60% to 90% leather fibers (often scrap from leather tanneries or leather workshops). It consists of collagen fibers obtained from macerated hide pieces bonded together with latex binders constructed into a fibrous mat to create a look and feel similar to that of genuine leather but at a fraction of the cost. Bonded leather is not as durable as other leathers, and is recommended for use only if the product will be used infrequently. It characteristically lacks the "smell of leather". Depending on the quality a man-made pattern is usually discernible as a "grain-like" look.

Examples of products that are most commonly constructed with bonded leather are; Bibles, diaries, art books, desk accessories, and hymnals.
