Explorer Marco Polo was born in 1254 into a prosperous merchant family
in the Italian city-state of Venice.
He first set out at age of 17 with his father and uncle, traveling overland along what later became known as the Silk Road across Asia. In the 13th century,
Marco Polo was among the first to trade “common” leathers for exotic skins – alligator, python, crocodile. He was fascinated with this exceptional new leather that was strong and carried an element of surprise regarding the scale and irregularity of their natural variations.
