Buffalo
The water buffalo is mainly found in the Middle and Far East. The extremely thick, firm fiber and the coarse pores make the buffalo hide an unmistakable natural product. The size is relatively small measuring only 2 - 4 sqm. The buffalo offers natural or heavily finished an extremely robust and hardwearing leather for various purposes. The quantities produced are limited and progressive industrialization is replacing the buffalo as a farm animal in agriculture. Very long delivery times make long-term planning necessary.
