Giraffe leather

The use of giraffe leather originates from the vast plains of Africa, the natural habitat of these animals. Hunting giraffes and processing their skin into leather has a long tradition in some African cultures, particularly among the indigenous peoples of Southern Africa. These communities use giraffe leather for clothing, shoes, dwellings, and other everyday items. It was the preferred choice for making the important flour pot because it was more durable and flexible than buffalo leather.

While giraffe leather has been used in Africa for centuries, it only became popular in Western countries in the late 19th century. In Europe and the United States, giraffe leather began to be used for the production of exclusive fashion items such as handbags, shoes, and accessories. The unique pattern of the giraffe's skin, with dark spots on a light background, gave these products an exotic and sophisticated look.

The increasing demand for giraffe leather in the fashion industry led to intensified hunting of giraffes. This had negative effects on the population of these animals, as they faced a heightened threat from poaching and habitat loss. In some countries, the trade in giraffe leather has been restricted or even banned to ensure the protection of giraffe populations.
