PLEASE NOTE – NATURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HIPPOPOTAMUS LEATHER:
Hippopotamus hides may contain minor scars, scratches, and other natural markings. Hippos are large, powerful animals that frequently fight with one another in the wild, leaving scars and marks on their skin that remain visible after the leather is tanned.
These markings are natural characteristics of genuine hippopotamus leather and are not considered defects. Each hide is unique, so the appearance and placement of these markings will vary from belt to belt. These natural imperfections are part of what makes authentic exotic leather distinctive, and customers should expect some variation in the finished product.
