NEW DELHI: Ostrich leather is one of the world’s most expensive and renowned for its pattern of bumps. The exotic leather comes from tanning skins taken from ostriches, who are cruelly stunned when upside down.


The high-value bumps are actually the follicles from which the ostrich’s feathers are ripped out, often while conscious. It is also used to make luxury car seats, bags and soccer boots. Sold by brands such as Prada and Gucci, an ostrich hide jacket costs around £12,000.
