Processed animal skin has always been used as a raw material for a production of clothing. Leather is also used for a production of shoes (see the category historical shoes), accessories and other products.
Cowhide is often used even today. Sheep hide or deer hide are used as well. Products from these hides are softer and usually more expensive.
Leather is also used as a material for binding of book . A leather-bound book is characterized by high price and prestige.
