The quality of leather can vary based on factors like the type of animal hide, tanning process, and overall craftsmanship. Full-grain leather is considered high quality as it retains the hide's natural grain, character, and durability . Top-grain leather is also good but has a slight correction process and a smoother surface. Genuine leather is more common but may undergo more processing. Genuine leather is a more affordable option but may have lower quality. Always check for details on leather type and craftmanship to assess quality when making a purchase.
