DISTINGUISH BETWEEN GENUINE CROCODILE LEATHER AND EMBOSSED LEATHER

April 9, 2025

First, the feel of genuine crocodile leather is more supple, smoother, and a more sensitive touch as contrast to embossed leather feeling harder, more plastic, and rigid textures.

The look of genuine crocodile leather has a natural shine, unique uneven scale patterns that cannot be replicated by embossing technology. Scale patterns on genuine crocodile leather will never repeat themselves, while embossed leather patterns will be repeated.

Genuine crocodile leather will have small pores on each of the scales. Sometimes there are scars and even small scratches as part of the natural physical appearance of crocodile leather.

Finally, at Viet Thanh Company, we always use certified genuine crocodile leather for all production lines. Our certification was issued by International CITES organization (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. Using certified genuine crocodile leather not only guarantees the genuity of our crocodile leather materials, but this also helps our crocodile farming community sustainably thrive.
