I have lots of shoes made from leather, how about you?
I do too! I like to polish my leather. It's relaxing for me. How about you?
I prefer the smell of it unpolished. It has a very particular smell don't you think?
Yes, I agree. I wonder if the smell comes from the material or the tanning process.
I believe it's from the tanning process
Whenever I read a book set earlier than the 20th century, it invariably mentions how badly tanneries smelled.
I suppose it's dependant on a persons taste. It's quite a strong smell for sure.
I've never smelled the tanning process personally. I love the smell of leather though.
It's certainly unique, isn't it?
It's surprising how many items of clothing contain leather. Shoes that appear to be cloth are sometimes actually leather, it seems.
