2. Elephant Leather​

Sometimes we get elephant leather. Usually not in any great quantity but nonetheless if we find a good section we're quick to snatch it up. People sometimes question how its legal to get elephant hides and its a fair question. But actually CITES allows for the legal sale of the hides. Its poaching endangered elephants for the illegal ivory trade that gives people this confusion, but for now the sale of hides is perfectly legal. Its a good thing too, because elephant hide is some of the toughest and most supple hide you can buy. The texture is dense and slightly bumpy. Typically you can see remnants of large wrinkles across the hide too. Leather from the ears is a little more soft and velvet-like. Colors are generally in the neutral spectrum, consisting of earth-tones and mottled black accents that emphasize the pores and wrinkles on the hide. This leather really is some of the toughest you can purchase too. Barring some freak accident, stuff made from elephant leather is bound to last a couple generations at least.
