Leather is primarily composed of collagen fibers, which is found in animal skin which gives it its strength, flexibility, and durability. During processing, tanning agents like chromium or plant-based tannins are added to prevent rotting and make the leather durable. Other materials like dyes, pigments, and protective coatings can be used to change the color, texture, or finish, creating the final product used in fashion, furniture, and accessories.

The production of leather starts with soaking the animal skin in chemicals to prevent rotting before undergoing tanning, a process that makes the leather durable and flexible. After tanning, the leather is dried, dyed, and finished with oils, waxes, or coatings to enhance its look and feel. Finally, it is cut and shaped into products like bags, shoes, and furniture.
