Leather
Leather is a durable material made from the tanned hides or skins of animals, primarily cattle. It is valued for its strength, flexibility, and ability to age gracefully. The tanning process involves treating animal hides to prevent decay, which can be done using various methods, including vegetable tanning and chrome tanning. Leather is commonly used in clothing, furniture, accessories, and upholstery due to its aesthetic appeal and longevity. It comes in various types, such as full-grain, top-grain, and suede, each with distinct characteristics tailored for different uses. Leather care and maintenance are important to preserve its quality over time.
