World News 
The world leather market is facing some challenging times. Quality raw materials are in high demand as various economic pressures are creating a strain on supply. As a by-product of the meat industry, many variables are adding to this strain including the rising cost of corn due to increased ethanol consumption, massive floods in Australia that destroyed thousands of cattle, the sinking dollar value against the Euro, and increased demand from growing markets such as China and India.
Despite these growing challenges, Garrett Leather continues to maintain an industry leading inventory of over two million square feet of first quality Italian upholstery leather. While other suppliers are struggling to fulfill orders, Garrett continues to have stock items available for immediate shipment. For reliable service and on-time delivery, always specify Garrett Leather.
