Leather Links

From LeatherLink Knowledge Base

There are not many sites which you can refer for leather facts. Most of them are commercial sites promoting services, products and businesses. A few are catering to the trade focussing on the news and trends in the trade. Web sites of research organisations and trade associations also provide useful information.

We have visited all the sites listed here and included sites which will be of general interest first followed by product catalogues or on-line merchants.
