Bonded Leather or "Reconstituted Leather" is not really a true leather but a man-made material composed of 90% to 100% leather fibres bonded together with latex binders to create a look and feel similar to that of genuine leather at a fraction of the cost. Bonded leather is not as durable or hard wearing as an item made from Genuine Leather would be.

Full-Grain leather made from the finest raw material, is clean natural hides which have not been sanded to remove imperfections. Only the hair has been removed. The grain remains in its natural state which will allow the best fibre strength, resulting in greater durability. The natural grain also has natural breathability, resulting in greater comfort.

Nylon represents a family of synthetic polymers, a thermoplastic material, first produced on February 28, 1935. It is made of repeating units linked by peptide bonds (another name for amide bonds) and is frequently referred to as polyamide (PA). Nylon was the first commercially successful polymer and the first synthetic fibre to be made entirely from coal, water and air.

Polyester generally refers to cloth woven from polyester fibre. Polyester fibres are often spun together with fibres of cotton, producing a cloth with some of the better properties of each.

Polyvinyl chloride, commonly abbreviated simply to PVC, is a widely-used plastic and typically found in conference folders.

Suede is an interior split of the hide. It is "fuzzy" on both sides. Suede is less durable than top-grain. Suede is cheaper because many pieces of suede can be split from a single thickness of hide, whereas only one piece of top-grain can be made. However, manufacturers use a variety of techniques to make suede appear to be full-grain. For example, in one process, glue is mixed with one side of the suede, which is then pressed through rollers; these flatten and even out one side of the material, giving it the smooth appearance of full-grain.

Vegetable-tanned leather is tanned using tannin (hence the name "tanning") and other ingredients found in vegetable matter, tree bark, and other such sources. It is supple and brown in colour, with the exact shade depending on the mix of chemicals and the colour of the flesh. Vegetable-tanned leather is not stable in water; it tends to discolour, and if left to soak and then dry it will shrink and become less supple and harder. In hot water, it will shrink drastically and plasticise, becoming rigid and eventually becoming brittle.
