From Ephesus we were taken to a leather factory, were we were treated to Apple tea and a fashion parade which included Chris & Christie of our tour group.
After the fashion show they explained a bit about the leather they made and use in their jackets – they only use lamb skin and make 3 types of leather normal, suede and silk leather.
Silk leather is made from scraping the leather on both sides it is very fine and very soft hence as the name implies soft like silk.
Before we went in to the leather factory Canar advised us on how to bargain properly and if we need any help to let him know.
After the fashion show and the information we were let loose in the show room – the range of jackets was amazing in both style and colour.
5 people on the tour purchased jackets, 4 of them had Canar haggle their side for them. 1 person bargined their own sale and was only £2 worse off for the effort.
And so I’m so very proud of my black silk leather jacket for which I bargained for all on my lonesome – with moral support from Bridget.
