Fish-leather expected to be the future of fashion

Published on

Clothing, shoes and accessories in fish-leather could be the height of fashion in the 21st century. "More and more fashion houses are showing an interest in fish-leather," says Susanne Bergholtz, joint owner of Sea Skin Scandinavia, Sweden's only tannery for salmon leather. According to the company, fish-leather is as exclusive as lizard, snake and other exotic leathers, making it an excellent material for the clothing and shoe industries. The leather is strong and attractive, easy to produce and it doesn't smell of fish. Finnish fashion designers and Swedish shoe manufacturers have already taken the new material on board.
