About MeLeather, made from the hide of an animal is probably the most widely used and most versatile of animal materials exploited for fashion, clothing and accessories. It can be very tough and hardwearing, so is ideal for protective clothing and particularly shoes or boots, as well as items that are likely to endure heavy use such as hat boxes or suitcases.
