Saddlery and leather goods
About the material
Technique with which products are made from different animal skins. The difference between saddlery and leather goods is the leather finish. While in saddlery it is done for work that is smooth, leather goods embed designs with metal stamps on the final product. It is said that the first is used for objects that go on animals and the second for objects that are used by humans. Leather goods can be worked on any thick surface, not necessarily the skin. The term comes from the Moroccan artisans who were the best in this type of work. Talabarteria comes from talabarte, which is the belt used to carry some type of bladed weapon.
