Where Does Leather Come From?
Leather is made from processed hides and skins.
Hide or skin is the outer covering of an animal
A hide come from large animals such as cows, donkeys, camels, and buffaloes.
Skin come from smaller animals like goats, sheep, fish, and reptiles.
Yes, i mentioned fish; Fish leather exists, too!

Many of you have likely encountered a hide or skin, especially during festivities when slaughtering a goat, sheep, or bull.

To prevent spoilage, the hide/skin must be preserved immediately after slaughter. If it goes bad, it is not usable.
Once preserved, the hide or skin undergoes tanning, a process that transforms raw hides and skins into durable leather that does not decay—a condition known as putrefaction (simple terms😃😃)

Leather is processed according to different end-user demands. There are specific types of leather for various products, such as:
Shoes
Belts
Wallets
Gloves
Boots, and many more.
Leather is the primary raw material in leather products, offcourse other materials are used and accessories too to enhance the final product’s appearance.

There are several ways to identify genuine leather, which we will explore in our next awareness discussion.

Taking care of your shoes is essential to make them last longer and look their best. Regular shoe maintenance not only improves their appearance but also preserves the quality of the material, helping to maintain the shoes' structure and durability over time. By cleaning your shoes regularly, you remove dirt, and other debris that can cause damage and wear out the materials. This simple habit helps prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to unpleasant odors, and overall foot health and hygiene.

Leather shoes, in particular, need special attention.
Leather is a strong and versatile material, it can dry out, crack, or lose its shine if not properly cared for. Regular conditioning helps keep the leather soft and prevents it from becoming brittle. Polishing not only restores the natural shine but also adds a protective layer against moisture and stains.
