When shopping for a leather wallet or belt, one thing matters more than design: the quality of leather. At Zolaxy, we craft each accessory using locally sourced, high-quality leather — but not all leather types are the same.

Let’s break down the 4 most common types of leather used in men’s fashion accessories, so you know what you're buying.

1. 🥇 Full-Grain Leather – The Most Premium

This is the top layer of the hide, including all the natural grain. It’s the most durable, breathable, and luxurious leather available.

🔹 Features:

- Strongest and most durable
- Develops a natural patina over time
- Looks better with age
- Slightly expensive, but lasts 5–10+ years

Best for:

Luxury wallets, timeless belts, high-end gift sets
Zolaxy’s premium wallets & belts are crafted with full-grain leather for a long-lasting impression.

2. 🥈 Top-Grain Leather – High-Quality, Slightly Refined

Top-grain leather is slightly sanded to remove imperfections, giving it a smooth and consistent look.

🔹 Features:

- Softer than full-grain
- Resistant to stains
- Still strong and long-lasting
- Slightly more affordable

Best for:

Office belts, card holders, fashion wallets

3. 🥉 Genuine Leather – Real, But Lower Quality

Don’t be fooled by the word “genuine” — this leather comes from the lower layers of the hide, making it more processed.

🔹 Features:

- Still real leather
- More affordable
- Slightly less durable
- Requires proper care to last

✅ Best for:

Entry-level wallets and belts

At Zolaxy, even our genuine leather is carefully selected and tested for quality and strength.

4. ❌ PU (Synthetic) Leather – Not Real Leather

Made from plastic, PU leather looks shiny at first but peels and cracks quickly.

🔹 Features:

- Not breathable
- Looks fake
- Weak lifespan
- Not eco-friendly

Not recommended for anyone serious about fashion or durability.
