abstract:Morocco leather (also Morocco or the French maroquin or German Saffian Middle Persian Saxtag Modern Persian سختگ) is a soft, pliable form of leather widely used for gloves and the uppers of ladies' shoes and men's low cut shoes, but traditionally associated with book bindings, wallets, linings for fine luggage, and the like. The finest grades of Morocco leather are goat skin, but by the late 19th century other skins often were substituted in practice, particularly sheep skin and split calf skins.
