Definition of leather goods<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Leatherwork is an art based on the manipulation and work with leather in order to manufacture functional or decorative products. This art dates back to Roman times, so it is more than 2,000 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n

Previously, this craft was passed down from generation to generation, allowing the process to be improved with new knowledge and new ways of treating the leather, obtaining increasingly complex articles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Products made with leather can be very different from each other due to the way it is worked, the type of animal, the age of the animal itself or whether it is made entirely by hand or whether some type of machinery has been used in the manufacturing process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later on we will detail with what type of animals are usually used in this art of leatherwork, but we can advance that the most used are of bovine, goat and pig origin. There is currently a boom in the use of both synthetic and vegetable leathers.<\/span><\/p>\n
