Crocodile skin

Materials

Crocodile skin is the hide of a crocodile, either on the living animal or as leather processed from a farmed and slaughtered one, and after tanning it is used across the fashion industry for bags, shoes and upholstery. It is classed as an exotic leather and accounts for less than one percent of global leather production, and because crocodile populations are limited, the animals are relatively small, and few tanneries can process the hide, crocodile leather is rare and expensive. Luxury brands including Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Gucci use it for high-end products.
