History of leather in Iran
According to Ibn Yimin, ancient Iranians used animal skins such as buffalo, cow and sheep to write on it, in the writings of Dariush’s writing on leather. According to some narrations, the Avesta was written over twelve thousand pieces of cowhide.

Khajeh Rashid al-Din’s writings related to the post-Mongol invasion marked the boom in leather and leather trade in Iran, which is evidence of the reputation of some cities like Tabriz and Shiraz during this period. In the Qajar period, Hamadan was the centerpiece of leather production, known as Hamdani Leather, which was made from sheepskin. In 1267, the work that Amir Kabir sent to the exhibition in London was skin. In addition, during this period leather and leather exports were booming from most of Iran’s cities to Russia, Ottoman, and India. In addition to Hamadan, the cities of Tabriz and Isfahan also had a significant share in the production and export of leather. The first Iranian leather factory was constructed in Tabriz in 1308, after which factories were established in Hamedan, Tehran and Isfahan.
