Leather is a natural material that has been used for centuries. Nowadays, it is mostly used for luxury corporate gifts. It is durable, flexible, and can be dyed in any color. Leather is also a renewable resource because it can be tanned and turned into new leather.
Leather is made from the skin of an animal that has been tanned with chemicals to preserve it. The most common type of leather comes from cows, but other animals such as goats, sheep, pigs, deer, and horses are also used to make leather.
The tanning process removes the hair from the skin and makes it more durable by adding oils and fats to the surface of the skin. The oils in the tanning process also give leather its distinctive smell.
