[ Chouara Leather Tanneries · Fes El Bali ] · Numerous stone vessels filled with a vast range of dyes and various liquids spread out like a tray of watercolors. · Dozens of men, many standing waist deep in dyes, work under the hot sun tending to the hides that remain soaked in the vessels. · Hides are first soaked for two to three days in a mixture of cow urine, quicklime, water, and salt. This caustic mixture helps to break down the tough leather, loosen excess fat, flesh, and hair that remain on them. · The hides are then soaked in another set of vats containing a mixture of water and pigeon poop, which contains ammonia that acts as softening agent and allows the hides to become malleable so they can absorb the dye. · The tanner uses his bare feet to knead the hides for up to three hours to achieve the desired softness.
