Darn, no wonder I can never find that "metalic gold" cow....Thanks, Allie, for the great info about all things leather. The "oldie but goodie" bracelet really caught my eye--love it.

Thank you for all the research you did! I hadn't heard about Greek or Indian (Eastern) leather. For shoes and handbags, I knew Italian has always been better than Mexican. It never occurred to me that jewelry leather had different qualities and where they're sourced.
Like you, I love leather too. It breaths better than synthetic for shoes and garments. I don't suppose that matter for jewelry. The faux leather products are so much more attractive now than when I was a kid in the late 60's and made my big brother a pair of pants with Ultrasuede. He loved them though.
Love your mixed micro-macrame wrap bracelets. Pinned this and your micro-macrame vids for future reference. Looking forward to sitting down with my macrame board and cranking out a few wrap bracelets.
Thanks again for the info!

Most leather in the US comes from slaughter houses, so they make money from the “waste”, and for. Cork make sure it’s from sustainable sources. Now you can also get a leather effect from clay for added character! It’s Fimo leather effects clay

Vegan should always be the choice.

Just because it was used in the past doesn't make it right today.
