The use of ocean food waste fish skin (fish leather) for luxury leather-based products draws on the cultural traditions of many Arctic cultures and their knowledge of its physical properties. Due to diagonal alignment of fibers, fish skin is much stronger than lamb or cow leather of equivalent thickness. In addition, by re-using waste from one industry (fishing/food) to manufacture products for another industry (fashion) the use of fish leather implements the principles of circular economy in the manufacturing of luxury fashion products.(1,2)
