kid leather

Soft glove hide

Kid leather is soft, fine-grained leather made from the skin of young goats.

Prized for its suppleness and smooth texture, it has traditionally been used for high-quality gloves, shoes, and bookbindings: kid gloves, kid boots.

To handle someone with kid gloves is to treat them gently or delicately.
