The common occurrence of animal skin products through time, whether vegetable tanned leather, parchment, vellum, fat-cured skins or rawhide attest to its enduring versatility, utility and desirability. Typically grouped together as 'leather', the versatility of these materials is remarkable: they can be soft and supple like a textile, firm and rigid like a basket, or hard and watertight like a pot or gourd.Leather garmentsHistoryLeather industry and tradeLeather goodsHistoryLeatherworkConservation and restorationLeather garmentsHistory.Leather industry and trade.Leather goodsHistory.LeatherworkConservation and restoration.685.22Harris SusannaVeldmeijer A.
