Elephant

Choosing elephant hide as a leather for your glasses cases makes for an uncommon look, because it has a very distinctive appearance with a dense, rich texture marked with creases. Elephant hide is rare and has a wilderness feel to it, with a bit of a vintage vibe. It is generally dyed in sober colors like shades of black, blue, khaki, or beige, using natural pigments. Your elephant hide glasses cases will chiefly stand out for the texture of its elephant leather, and the fine craftsmanship required to work it.
