Alligator, python, ostrich...and salmon? Yes, what used to be a wasted byproduct of processing fish for eating is now the latest trend in exotic skins and fine leather. Salmon is as strong as cow's leather but has the appeal and beautiful texture of something much more unique, plus it has an eco-friendly edge since it's otherwise considered garbage. Nanai is the name of the company working out of Bavaria to produce the chrome-free, vegetable-tanned skins in a variety of colors for eager designers around the world.

What do you think, would you wear a salmon leather jacket or carry a salmon leather handbag?
