Nothing to Hide: The value of leather as a component brand

摘要

The basis for leather's performance stems from its physical components. Designed by nature, leather's intriguing structure starts with nano-strands of triple helical collagen twisted into very fine fibrils, then counter-twisted into larger fibres, then intertwined into fibre bundles. The secondary and tertiary structures provide great physical strength. Very fine fibres that give a smooth glossiness to the grain surface, along with the distinctively patterned hair follicles, impart a pleasing touch sensation and a natural beauty to full-grain leather.
