Why YSK: The term “Genuine Leather” is a marketing term to sell the lowest quality leather possible.

When purchasing a leather product, look for full grain leather or top grain leather instead. These will provide a much higher quality cut of leather that will look and feel much better and last for much longer.

    @BigTrout75 many people are sensitive to dust. A car with a leather interior is easier to clean. The dust cannot stick in the seats.

        @okiloki well, yes and no. The air feels cleaner when stepping into a warm car with leather interior, opposed to cloth

      Isn’t house dust mainly skin and leather also skin? Admittedly leather is dead skin that’s not being replaced any more, so perhaps without a process of replacement it also somehow lacks the shedding?
