Bonded Leather
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bonded Leather , or "Reconstituted Leather" is not really a true leather but a man-made material composed of 90% to 100% leather fibers (often scrap from leather tanneries or leather workshops). It consists of collagen fibers obtained from macerated hide pieces bonded together with latex binders constructed into a fibrous mat to create a look and feel similar to that of genuine leather but at a fraction of the cost. Bonded leather is not as durable as other leathers, and is recommended for use only if the product will be used infrequently.
Examples of products that are most commonly constructed with bonded leather are; Bibles, diaries, art books, desk accessories, and hymnals.
