What is bicast leather?

Bicast leather is a type of leather that is made from split leather, which is the fibrous part of the hide left once the top grain has been removed. Bicast leather is coated with a layer of polyurethane or another synthetic material to give it a glossy finish. This coating also makes bicast leather more durable and resistant to stains and fading.

Bicast leather is often used in the manufacturing of furniture, shoes, wallets, and other leather goods. It is known for its high shine and uniform appearance, as well as its affordability compared to other types of leather.

One drawback of bicast leather is that it is not as breathable or natural-looking as full-grain leather. It also tends to show wear and tear more easily, as the coating can crack or peel over time. Despite these drawbacks, bicast leather remains a popular choice for those looking for a stylish and affordable alternative to genuine leather.
