Fish leather has been a relatively new development taking place in the tanning industry over the last 20 years. It is an environmentally friendly alternative to other leathers, manufactured from skins that are normally discarded by canneries. Fishskins are less of a pollutant than other leathers, because only the scales need to be taken off. The fish that we use for leather tanning are not on the CITES endangered species list. CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between Governments that aims to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. The special tanning process ensures the removal of all the fish oils so there is no odor. The tanning process can take up to 6 weeks. Since there is no hair to be removed from the skins, there is no need for any lime or acid in the tanning process which would usually be discarded back to our fresh water

A color coded chart is included with the packet, and ordering using the sample swatches helps to insure the right color selection. The packets are availab
