What is Calfskin?
Calfskin is a type of leather derived from the hide of a calf. It is highly valued for its fine grain and smooth texture, making it a popular choice for high-quality leather goods such as shoes, bags, and jackets. The production of calfskin involves tanning the hide to produce a durable and flexible material that retains natural beauty and resilience.
