In the last few days Materia has had a couple of interesting articles on leather.
Transparent / Translucent Cow Leather https://materia.nl/article/apparition-soft-transparent-cow-skin-leather

Animal Free Leather https://materia.nl/article/animal-free-leather-world-meat-free-day

Materia is a wonderful site introduced to us by @morganstanfield way back in May 2016

OOL, but these are both very exciting!

The transparent leather is especially beautiful and unique. It almost looks as though they found a way to make rawhide soft and pliable.

I’d like to see the cow it comes from, but of course I couldn’t. :innocent:

Look for the grass hovering a couple of feet above the ground.

My only experience with thin, transparent leather is a lamp I have that has very thinly skived deer skin (sans hair/hide). I don’t know how the product listed will wear (sounds very interesting though!) but the key to longetivity for this that I have is keeping it away from sunlight/windows and using low-temp bulbs (LED or CFL).
