The production technology of crocodile skin is extremely complicated.

Ⅲ. Gordya's Crocodile & Alligator Leather Selection
※※Porosus Crocodile※※ ※※Nile Crocodile※※ ※※American Alligator※※ ※※Siamensis Crocodile※※
① Porosus Crocodile
② Nile Crocodile
One of the top-grade crocodile skins, with air holes, the belly is not so long and narrow compared to American crocodile and bay crocodile, and the round pattern on the belly is the largest, which is obviously different from other varieties. Leather is generally used to make bags. Made of Nile crocodile leather, it may be because Luxury Brands uses Nile crocodile for European luxury brand products. Many women's bags on the market are made of Nile crocodiles. Maybe there are other factors I don't know, for example, it is easy to raise, or the texture characteristics are more in line with female aesthetics, and so on. In short, Nile crocodile is high-grade crocodile skin.
③ American Alligator
The American alligator we usually refer to is the Mississippi crocodile. There are no stomata, and there are obvious fissures above the cloaca. Stomata and fissures are important signs of this breed. The slub pattern is neat and beautiful, with a clear boundary with the circular pattern, and the circular pattern is dense and relatively small. Leather is suitable for making bags, especially for small leather goods. For example, small leather goods such as watch straps are better than other varieties, and can especially reflect the charm of American alligators. Of course, it does not mean that other varieties cannot be made of small leather goods. Don't get me wrong. For watch straps, the American alligator is the best leather, better than other breeds. The price of American crocodile skin is second only to that of the bay crocodile. Although it is second only to the bay crocodile, it is also a very high-end crocodile skin in the market. For elegant and traditional leather goods, the American alligator is the first choice.
④ Siamese Crocodile
Compared with the saltwater crocodile, American crocodile, and Nile crocodile, it is more friendly to the people. The pattern on the belly is also very beautiful, with small air holes, and the ratio of slub pattern to round pattern, I personally think it is also pretty. In fact, when it comes to Siamese crocodiles, it gives people the impression that the grade is not high. If you look at the species and skin From the perspective of the material itself, the Siamese crocodile is not bad, and it is also very good. Siamese crocodile is a large crocodile. The leather material will not ossify and is not hard. Many clothes are made of Siamese crocodiles.
Ⅳ. Handmade Process of Crocodile & Alligator Skin
How to produce handmade crocodile skin leather
Crocodile skin itself is a kind of scarce leather material, and the process and technology it needs in the process of bag making and leather making are much more complicated and difficult than ordinary leather species.
① Descaling and softening |
② Tanning |
③ Deep Deying Process |
| Crocodile skin are not as smooth as other skin types, it has hard scales, and the first step in making it into a handbag must be softened. Craftsmen will perform complicated chemical steps on crocodile skin, such as soaking in water, soaking in alkali, re-dusting, softening, salt washing, and pickling, so that the scales will loosen and fall off, and the leather will swell and become soft. When it has completely shed its hard scales, it will become clear in grain and feel much softer. | Tanning is to remove all the fat, water, salt, and impurities from the crocodile skin itself so that it is easy to preserve and to make the leather moderately swell, soft and hard, and easy to plastic. Tanned crocodile leather feels lighter, more flexible, and waterproof, as delicate as a girl's face. | After polishing to remove the fat of the crocodile skin itself, the cortex becomes dry and dull. In order to make the thickness and color consistency, the craftsman has to open its fiber channels to allow the color and wax to penetrate evenly so that the leather is deeply colored, firm to the touch, and shiny. . Once the color is found to be uneven during the dyeing process, it cannot be repaired, and the entire leather will be eliminated. |
④ Carefully selected crocodile skin |
⑤ Cutting of crocodile skin |
⑥ Finishing |
| Crocodile leather products also need selected leather embryos, that is, the original raw leather. She requires the leather surface to be free of defects, such as scars, etc. In the selection of crocodile leather, if you want to get a selected and flawless leather, you must choose at least dozens of them. | Unlike other types of leather with repeated patterns and flat leather surfaces, crocodile skin is not flat, and the texture of each part of each crocodile skin is different. The texture of crocodile skin cut by machinery in batches is dull and lacks aesthetic feeling, and the unique charm of the texture of crocodile skin is buried. | Only experienced crocodile leather craftsmen ingeniously design and cut each piece of crocodile skin with a unique texture. After dozens of processes and tens of hours of careful hand-sewing, the style and the pattern of the crocodile leather are matched. Let every crocodile leather product glow with the charm of life and become an enduring work of art. |
