A fashion company based in Leon is manufacturing products such as shoes, boots, belts and handbags out of fish skin in order to replace the skin used from endangered reptiles, as shown by footage shot on Sunday.
According to the company, the fish 'leather' is cheaper than traditional cow hide and also more resistant. Manufacturer Jose Martin Calvillo Mares said that the skin from tilapia and mojarra fish is extra "thick" and has "aesthetic" advantages in terms of producing stronger colours in the final design.
Commenting on the materiel, customer Veronica Jimenez Sepulveda said the fish skin is "a little softer and more comfortable" than cow or pig skin which is used in other shoes.
