Alligator leather
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leather is created when an animal skin or hide is chemically treated in a process called tanning to preserve them for long term use as material for clothing, handbags, footwear, furniture, sports equipment and tools.[1] Alligator leather is also commonly used to create similar items as mentioned above.

Alligator leather is not only used due to its durable skin, but also its natural enamel sheen, which is aesthetically pleasing for consumers buying expensive products.[2]
