Etymology

The term 'kidskin' originates from the combination of 'kid', referring to a young goat, and 'skin', meaning hide or leather. The use of young goats in leather production dates back to ancient civilizations, where the quality and softness of their hides were highly valued. Historically, kidskin was preferred for its lightness and pliability, making it easier to work with compared to older, thicker leathers. Over the centuries, kidskin has maintained its reputation in the fashion industry, especially for children's wear, due to its luxurious feel and vibrant dyeing capabilities. As markets evolved, so did the uses of kidskin, leading to its current applications in various stylish and functional items designed specifically for children.
