A luxury leather documentary
I was in two minds about uploading this, but I think it's important information.
This is a very controversial documentary focusing on leather tanneries and suppliers, specifically in Italy and China.
There is definitely a hidden agenda behind the production of this documentary, so just be aware of that.
I don't think either side of the argument is all good or all bad here. Nothing is black and white.
It is important for us all to stay informed on the current affairs of our craft, and where we buy our materials from. Your customers can also watch this.
With that said, enjoy the show:
So, thoughts on the subject?

American Tanning uses both farmed and wild gator, and they had a campaign last year explaining or more accuratly glorifying the whole exotic croc and gator industry as being responsible for incrasing the number of wild alligators.
They also have on their website a page about Responsability and Sustainability ( https://www.amtan.com/responsibility.html ). If it really is like they say, then it's actually a good program they use
