The wrinkle looking finish in the leather what causes this,
The pictures show the back of the section as “coarse break” (artificially created by flexing). It may be a sign of dryness due to diminishing fatliquor and will most likely becomes coarser as fatliquor continues to evaporate by heat as VOC (volatile organic compound). Simply say the leather has lost it suppleness. Hydrating and fatliquoring through the stitching seam is the solution to hold up this structure weakness.
could it be just cheap leather or bad finishing?
Nothing to do with the finishing, it is the structure “emptiness” or “dryness”. The average total thickness of the leather is 1mm, the average finish thickness averages 0.02mm. It is usually the structure that affects the finishes.
One is saying his leather is cracking and even the black is coming off.
The “coarse break” if leave unattended to replenish the diminishing fatliquor will eventually leads to cracking with constant flexed when used.
