Fish leather
Yes, it's really true: F-I-S-H leather. It's made of organic salmon skin, formerly a waste product of fish canneries. The skin retains its pigmentation and characteristic texture, while it's tanned and dyed with an eco-friendly process. The production of this salmon skin is chrome-free, relying instead on vegetable tanning. This post is part 9 of the series 13 stories about our →
