South India is famous for its fine Leathers from ancient times. Leather was one of the main products traded by the British East India Company. Two very different kinds of Leather are used to make these two products. One is a soft vegetable tanned leather bag. Hand stitched, and lined with suede leather, its classic pattern never goes out of fashion. The other equally timeless design is hand tooled on a firm Buffalo skin. Goat skin is used for braiding.
