We made a day trip to Sauðárkrókur yesterday and the lovely people at Atlantic Leather agreed to give us a tour of the factory. At first I was slightly horrified because of all the sheep skins and fish skins laying around but the factory itself is really interesting. Apparently fish skin is used to make high fashion shoes and purses. And the industry is very important to the Icelandic economy. It's funny to see nasty fish skins that will end up as shoes in posh boutiques.
