Lizard leather
Lizards is an epitome for four-legged reptiles with a rather long tail and rather short neck. The skin of lizards, like the skin of crocodiles and snakes, belongs to the group of reptiles.
For the processing of leather, especially the larger animals are interesting. The skin is more stable and larger areas are easier to process. Lizard's skins are characterized by closely spaced bumpy fields. The skin is thinner and more mobile at the points where the bumps meet.
The main purpose of lizard leather is the production of handbags and shoes.
Iguana leather
Iguanas are found on the American double continent from the South of the USA to Paraguay, the Caribbean islands, the Galápagos Islands and the Fiji Islands. Particularly before the great world economic crisis until 1928, iguana leather was a sign of luxury.

Leather seats in vehicles was a fashion of the rich in the years 1926-1928. At this time, several French highly-specialized carriages had created interior fittings made of reptile leather for some particularly expensive individual pieces (Bugattis, Mercedes, etc.). Certain snake species as well as reptile skins were used. The small pieces of lizard leather were processed like "patchwork" to larger surfaces. Up to 400 lizard skins were processed for one vehicle. This fashion was very quickly over with the stock market crash of 1928.
