Leather is so durable and I actually like the smell.

It does have a certain smell. It's made by tanning cattle hide, mostly

I have actually helped tan a hide. That smell was nasty. I had to leave the building.

Like most things I assume the creation process doesnt smell as good as the final product. People use leather for all sorts of things including shoes, jackets, etc.

When I was young I had a blue suede jacket and stitched a giant Micky Mouse on the back of it.

Hah, that's awesome! Leather is made using a variety of techniques, but what people do with the final form is cool

My friends and I attended a class on a reservation for creating leather art. It was such an amazing experience.

I bet! If you frequently oil the leather it keeps it suple and improves the lifespan too!
