Small French tannery takes up ostrich leather challenge
09/10/2019
Company owner, Jorge Soler, has told local media that France’s 20 or so ostrich farms approached him and asked if he would take up the challenge of converting the skins their operations produce into leather.
“I found the challenge interesting,” Mr Soler said. “Ostrich is a very delicate leather and it’s difficult to work with. I wasted a lot of skins at the start before achieving a satisfactory result, but now I’m ready.”
