Real cow leather is made from the hides of cows. During the slaughter process, the hide is carefully removed from the dead cow in one large piece. The hide is then scraped of all muscle, fat and tissue then placed into strong chemicals that will dissolve the hair. After the hair has been removed, the leather is cured or tanned so that the remaining leather will not break down. Once the leather has been tanned, it is worked and stretched to make it flexible and supple. After this it can be cut to specifications, dyed, imprinted, embossed and otherwise turned into leather goods.
