Crocodile Leather – The Pinnacle of Exotic Luxury

Crocodile leather is one of the most exclusive and expensive materials in the world. Valued for its rarity, durability, and unique textured beauty, it represents luxury and power in fashion, interiors, and accessories. From high-end handbags to designer shoes and car interiors, crocodile skin is a symbol of wealth and prestige. But behind this luxury lies a complex story of craftsmanship, conservation, and global trade. 1. What Is Crocodile Leather?

The Cofán people, also spelled as A’i Cofán, are one of the oldest surviving indigenous groups in the Amazon rainforest. Spread across the dense jungles of northeastern Ecuador and southeastern Colombia, the Cofán are known not just for their rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted traditions, but also for their fierce and innovative environmental activism.

Ancestral Roots and Lifestyle The Cofán are believed to have lived in the Amazon for thousands of years.

Their name for themselves, A’i, means "people" in their language, reflecting a common self-identification shared by many indigenous cultures. The Cofán way of li...
