Double-Faced Leather
Product Overview
Double-sided leather is an innovative high-end material, whose core lies in permanently combining two different high-quality surfaces - usually leather to leather or leather to high-performance textile fabric - through advanced eco-friendly bonding technology. It breaks the limitation of traditional leather being used on only one side, creating a composite fabric that is uniform in material but possesses dual texture, color and function. This design maximizes the utilization rate of materials and grants designers unprecedented creative freedom.
Core features and advantages
Dual style, one material for multiple uses
Side A and Side B: Both sides of the product possess complete practical value and aesthetic expression. One side can be a smooth full-grain surface, a classic embossed texture or a fashionable glossy effect; The other side can be presented as a soft suede surface (suede texture), natural suede feel or unique woven texture.
Design flexibility: Supports the texture contrast of the same color series on both sides, as well as bold color-blocking designs. It is suitable for making flipable bags, two-color spliced products, or ingeniously showcasing the contrasting colors at the edges through processes such as curling and hollowing out, adding details and fun to the products.
Outstanding structure and durability
One-piece molding: Through high-strength eco-friendly adhesives and precise pressing processes, it ensures a firm bond between the two layers of materials, preventing delamination, bubbling or warping at the edges.
Enhanced performance: Compared with single-layer leather, the double-sided structure usually offers better deformation recovery ability, anti-creasing property and overall stiffness.
Sustainability and practical value
Material reduction and efficiency improvement: It eliminates the complex steps of separately cutting the inner and outer leather and sewing the lining in traditional production, simplifies the production process, and reduces material waste.
Functional integration: Functional attributes can be deliberately combined. For instance, the waterproof and wear-resistant leather on the outside can be combined with the soft and moisture-absorbent suede or knitted fabric on the inside to enhance the practical experience of the product.
Luxurious texture and touch
Both sides can offer the touch of top-quality leather, whether it's the smooth and cool sensation or the warm and skin-friendly feel of the suede surface. From visual to tactile, it showcases high quality.
Main process technology
Environmentally friendly bonding technology: Utilizing low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) or water-based polyurethane (PU) adhesives, it achieves micro-pore penetration bonding under high pressure and high temperature, ensuring breathability and environmental safety.
Edge treatment process: Offers a variety of exquisite edge treatment options, such as dyed edge banding, oiled edge, twisted edge or designed rough edge, to perfectly present the color and texture of both sides.
