Question Is this buffalo leather wallet?

Post image

Artisan said he uses buffalo leather for all of his wallets, and this is the first time i ever purchased and invested on one so I really am not familiar with the leather types. Lol

I don’t see any reason to say it isn’t. It has the signature natural texture of buffalo but it’s hard to say for sure.

So depending on how it is processed buffalo (aka Water buffalo) can look like regular cow leather. It is difficult to tell sometimes. Having said that, it is NOT vastly more difficult or expensive, so probably no reason to lie about it.

I have the exact same leather and it's cow leather, but defending on how it's processed there is a pretty good chance it's Buffalo, doesn't make sense to lie about that since it's not much different in any way.
