UK luxury department store Harrods has seen a year-on-year increase in sales in its exotic leathergoods department, according to Simon Longland fashion accessories general merchandise manager at Harrods.

 “You might assess exotic leathers in the same way as fine jewellery, where the precious nature of the raw materials and skilled handcraftsmanship give the piece an intrinsic value independent of trends,” Mr Longland told the New York Times.
