Below is a news story I found today that may interest those of you who are thinking of buying a new leather lounge or upholstering some furniture in leather.
Slump in leather hide sales
Tuesday, 19/02/2008
There's been a 30 per cent slide in price for animal hides due to the weak global economy.
In Italy, tanneries are being forced into bankruptcy, unable to sell hide products like leather couches, shoes and bags.
In Western Australia, Mark Panniza, of DBC's abattoir, says the backlog could last for some time
"Luxury Items, particularly things like leather, are no longer on the shopping list, so some of the big warehouses in the Asian region are now full", he says.
"Those tanners aren't taking any more shipments until they empty those warehouses".
