For thousands of years, leather has been our
close companion. In the Stone Age, our ancestor used leather from
the animals they had hunted, as clothings . Since
civilization, elegists and composers wrote their poetry, allegretto,
epilogue and stories onto pieces of leather before paper was
invented. Nowadays, leather is now widely used for
garment, fashion, apparel, furniture, handbag and different
leatherware -- leather has been and will continue to be a part of
our life.
It all started in early fifties in Hong Kong, there was a young, tall and bespectacled man named, Mr
Lee Deh. Having worked at several leather companies and traders
in Hong Kong, he had realizied the potential of huge demand for leather in
the years to come. Like many aspiring and ambitious men who have
dreams of making it big in their life someday, Mr Lee decided
to start out on his own. With the knowledge and experiences that
he had grasped over the years, he opened a little quaint looking
leather trading house in Hong Kong. His clients were the local
footwear and handbag workshops. Thereafter, with the boom in the
garment industry during the 60's, Mr. Lee saw the opportunity to
import garment leather for the apparel, industry, thus he went to
Japan and introduced Japanese cowhide
to the garment manufacturers in Hong Kong. From then on, he
start to source various types of garment leather. Since then,
it has become a renowned
leather trader in this region.
