COMPARISON CHART
The skins of different animal species have distinct structural characteristics (amino acid composition, the interlacing of collagen fibers, density, fineness of fibers, etc.) and decisively impact the finished leather quality. Also, the breed and age of the animal have a significant influence on the quality of the finished leather. But Microfiber vegan leather comes in uniform quality
