FUN FACT
They originally used the tanning process to make the skin’s outer ‘grain’ side look great.
But guess what?
They figured out that even the skins with messed-up grain sides could be turned into something cool – suede! They just had to process the underside and wear it inside-out. That’s how suede leather got its start!
