The image of leather – Who makes it?
The image of leather has been created over many centuries. Leather is present in our daily lives. We know what leather is, how it feels and whether we like it.
An image evolves. Sometimes “fashion” tells us that leather is “in” right now. Sometimes other materials are more popular. Leather is a material that is produced so long as animals are kept, slaughtered and hunted for meat and milk.

The image is also shaped by the media. How and what do they report? Facts, sensations, scandals.
We are “unfortunately” not the ones who “create” the image of leather. However, we are working on topics in our “image group” that provide facts about leather, in particular. This means we aim to educate and inform.
We are collaborating with Leather Naturally, an association of companies in the leather industry. This is where you can access much of the latest information about leather. The homepage of Leather Naturally, also available in German, is made possible by us.
We jointly publish a periodical newsletter on topics about leather with our European sister associations under the umbrella of COTANCE. Please take a look at the COTANCE homepage.
No matter who you are, if you have questions about leather, we are your competent contact.
