Leather corsets are typically made from various types of leather, including cowhide, lambskin, or faux leather for a more affordable or vegan-friendly option. The sturdy nature of leather provides durability and a unique texture that stands out. The structure of these corsets usually includes boning, made from steel or plastic, to offer the desired shaping and support. They are available in overbust styles, which cover the bust, and underbust styles, which end below the bust, providing versatility in outfit combinations and layering options.
