Well there’s a multitude of reasons. But the answer can be distilled to two words: Material and craftsmanship.
Firstly, the Material: Full Grain Leather and Top Grain Leather.
Full Grain Leather is considered among the best quality leather available. Top Grain Leather is the second high quality leather. So full grain leather in more expensive than top grain leather.
Full Grain Leather choose the leather form captive breeding cow and be castrated cow, their leather are more dense than the other, with larger sheets and less scars. In addition, Full Grain Leather made from the top layer of the animal’s leather which side that grows or scales, this part is the strongest and most durable part of the animal. The Full Grain Leather is the strongest, most durable form of leather.
In most cases, there are some scars on animal’s skin, so we have to remove a slight section of the upper skin, if the animal's skin is thicker, the workers will cut it into two parts, and the upper part which has high density fibrous tissue will be processed into Top Grain Leather, the other part will be processed into Genuine Leather. Top Grain Leather is durable, not easy to break.
Secondly, the craftsmanship:
You have to understand grades and tanning methods of leather. Vegetable tanned and Chromium tanned. Vegetable tanned leather is green and good for your skin, but needs a long time. So Vegetable tanned leather is more expensive than Chromium tanned leather.
An important reason is the craftsman. For some handmade top brand leather bags, each bag is made entirely by hand by a single craftsman who trains for almost two years before he or she is allowed to build a bag. It takes more than ten hours to produce one bag, which means a limited number can be made each year.
We people all like using genuine leather bags cause they are durable and elegant. But as the world is big and full of terrors, your leather bag might get some stains such as grease, mud, ink, food etc. So how to protect and clean your leather bag? Here are a few rules of thumb to remember:
1) The sooner you treat the stain the better are the chances to get rid of it.
2) Only use specialist leather cleaners but not all leather cleaners are the right ones for your bag. Never use baby wipes, vinegar or any other ‘home remedy’ for cleaning. Many of these products have chemicals and substances in them that can cause drying or colour loss.
3) Never use water on grease stains...these should simply wipe off leather surfaces. DON’T use body creams on leather. Body lotion, hand cream and moisturiser can cause unwanted grease stains. Avoid touching your bag straight after moisturizing.
4) The key to removing ink marks is to treat them straight away... your first and best bet is to take your bag to see a professional as soon as possible. If you're unable to, try a special ink removing product for leather and follow the care instructions, making sure to condition the area afterwards and leave to dry properly.If the ink stains are old... don't try to remove these yourself. They will likely be too stubborn and will need professional care.
5) To banish ever-lingering smells... put an open container of baking powder carefully inside your bag, place your bag into a dustbag or pillow case and leave for 24 hours. The baking powder should absorb any unwanted odors.
Here are some advice of how to protect your leather bag:
1) Don't leave your handbag in direct sunlight.
2) Keep your bag in a dust bag when not in use. If your handbag came with a dust bag, use it! This will prevent the build-up of dust when it’s not in use and prevent any accidental scuffs. If you don’t have a dust bag, use a pillowcase.
3) Keep your bag stuffed. When not in use, stuff your bag with bubble wrap or even some old clothing to help keep its shape.
4) DO treat your bags regularly. Prevention is better than cure so treat your leather bags with a good-quality leather cream every 2-3 months to keep it supple.Proper protection can prevent staining, grease penetration and can prevent all manner of issues later on.

Function: you must first consider its functionality
No one wants a complicated camera that is difficult to use. The same goes for your camera bag.As a photographer, your biggest concern should be taking the next photo, not adjusting your camera bag.Of course, style can be important, but when it comes to style and functionality, you should always select functions
Quality: always choose quality over quantity.
You don't want to have a wardrobe full of camera bags of different styles and sizes. Instead, buy a high-quality camera bag that can last for years.Ultimately, your camera bag will be part of your identity as a photographer, which is a hundred times more important if you're just a photography lover.
Size: no one size fits all.
Many times people buy camera bags of the wrong size, and the result is either too big or too small. The wrong size will eventually damage your equipment. What you need is a camera bag with your device in it and nothing else in it
Style: your camera bag should match your critical eye

]]>It is known that leather is from the animal. Animals live outside, rub up against fences, get bitten by bugs, fight with others in their herd, and roll around on the ground to scratch their backs. Therefore, the living environment and quality of life of the animal will inevitably affect the quality of the leather.
The original leather was removed from the cattle and tanned. Then after shaving off the hair, cutting meat, dehydration and many other complicated steps, the leather was made of wet blue leather. The wet blue leather was able to preserved and don’t rot. The leather is very thick at this time.
The wet blue leather must be split before entering the next step because it is too thick. According to different uses, such as furniture, bag material, or other needs, it is divided into proper thickness. Under normal conditions, the leather is divided into full grain leather, top grain leather, and genuine leather.
Full grain refers to the strongest and most durable part of the hide of an animal, which is just below the hair. The best full grain leather should display the natural markings and grain characteristics from the animal of which it was taken. Full grain leather generally comes from a better quality hide or skin and no sanding processes are applied to its surface. Full grain leather offers a natural look and feel and is treated by transparent aniline dyes.
Every hide is unique as it comes from a different animal with different markings and blemishes - it tells a story. Full grain leather is extremely strong and durable, as the natural grain contains the strongest fibers in the hide. While strong and durable, full grain leather remains extremely breathable, resulting in less moisture from prolonged contact.
Full grain leather is the highest quality grade of leather money can buy. And it is more expensive for manufacturers to buy and more difficult for them to work with. This is reflected in the cost to the consumer. Usually, the product made of full grain leather is more expensive than other leather products.
The second highest quality leather is top grain leather.
Section of the full grain leather with defects is sanded using various tools and machines to remove a slight section of the upper grains. This leather is termed as top grain leather.
The natural grain from the top surface of top grain leather is sanded away, which removes imperfections and blemishes. After sanding away the natural grain, top grain leather is imprinted with an imitation grain to give it a more uniform look. However, the refinishing process of top grain leather greatly reduces the leather’s breathability, and also prevents the leather from developing a natural patina over time.
This leather is probably the most used leather in handbags, where a pristine look is desired.
Genuine leather doesn't just mean that the product is made of real leather, but it also means it is the lowest quality of all products made out of real leather.
The lower section of the skin has its fibers aligned in a parallel fashion making it less durable and low quality. Genuine leather has no grain marks and has a very smooth surface. Normally it is pressed with artificial texture to give it a grainy look.
Genuine leather is leather, at least. Of the various possible grains and cuts, it’s at the bottom of the list, though. Relative to high-quality leathers like full grain and top grain, it’s definitely an inferior product.
This grade of leather is acceptable if you're just buying something cheaply and don't care too much about its quality. It won't last very long, so you probably shouldn't buy something made from it that you would use every day.
I hope that this article will be helpful the next time you go for a leather product purchase. If you want to find a durable leather product, you can choose one from RockCow Leather Studio, who only use full grain and top grain leather to make each leather product to be as good as possible.
