Ostrich leather is made from ostrich skin and is recognisable by its distinctive pattern of raised quill follicles. It is relatively supple and durable and is valued as a luxury exotic leather. The size and distribution of the follicles can vary across the skin, with the most pronounced quill pattern generally associated with the main body area.
