What is Leather?
Leather is a strong, flexible, and durable material obtained from the tanning, or chemical treatment, of animal skins and hides to prevent decay.
The most common leathers come from cattle, sheep, goats, equine animals, buffalo, pigs and hogs, and aquatic animals such as seals and alligators.
