Understanding Leather Cuts: Why Your Chuupul Bag Feels Different
Leather Isn’t Just Leather — It’s Architecture.
When you invest in a leather bag, you’re not just paying for the brand name or the style.
You’re paying for the part of the hide it was cut from.
Just like diamonds vary in grade and clarity, leather varies in quality, strength, and durability depending on the cut.
Most people don’t know that.
But you’re not most people.
Welcome to the world of leather mastery.
At Chuupul Leather, we select our materials the same way a tailor selects fine wool —
with intention, precision, and respect for the craft.
Let’s break down the different leather cuts and why they matter.
🐂 The Anatomy of a Leather Hide
A hide is not evenly useful.
Just like the human body, some areas are tougher, some are stretchier, and some hold up better over time.
Because when you understand leather, you appreciate craftsmanship.
And we don’t make disposable fashion. We make heirlooms.
