Many consumers today have the misconception that leather only ever comes from cattle. While the vast majority of leather (around 65 per cent) is made from this source, there is still room in the marketplace for leather made from many other animals – some quite common, some distinctly unusual. The one thing that they have in common is that their skin structure is predominantly collagen, and this can be tanned to form leather.

Assistant director, Christine Anscombe, will consider the suitability of some of the more common animals for footwear production and other applications, before reviewing more exotic species.
