Hi E-Living, I saw the thread from KenEmu and he seems to be an expert in leather. So i m abit confuse. He say 2000 to 5000 is splited leather. Is it true. BTW i dono wats the diferent can you explain. also i saw people say buffole leather? isnt buffol and cow same? Is there OX leather also? Who is right n who is wrong. Can you help me. Hi all, I happen to stumble upon this thread while looking for reno stuff for my own flat, i'm also a sales consultant from one of the premium furniture importers here, won't say which company in case get into trouble for advertising. I'd like to explain that most the "leather sofas" in the market are using split leather and PU Leather. Depending on your budget for your sofa options, i can give a rough guideline to the general market for your reference For an average 3-seater size from 200cm-240cm Price below $2000 - Manufactured Locally or Malaysia or China, chances are PU (Synthetic) Leather Price $2000 - %5000 - Manufactured Locally or Malaysia or China, chances are Split Leather Price $5000 - $8000 - Manufactured Locally or Malaysia or China, chances are Top Grain Leather Price $8000 & Above - Manufactured in Europe, Chance are Top Grain Leather. Actually when most retailers say Top Grain Leather its all BS. All machine compressed grains.. Look at all the grains are all so nice and uniform.. where got cow hide so standardised one... Real cow hide is very rustic like an old cow boy's jacket.. Real Brands who has Real Top Grain Cow Hide - Proof Living, Marquis Furniture, Space Furniture, etc. Understand that all consumers have their own set of budgets, just dont get conned by the BS sales talk from all the different places. Im not trying to advertise for myself, if you have any enquiries on any brands please feel free to PM me i can offer some advice.
