Yes, they're quite durable. Just ensure you have clean hands and aren't holding anything that could scratch or spill on them. Many of my wall artworks are framed, so the piece itself is behind glass or plexiglass to keep them clean and safe from UV light. Those, obviously, you won't be able to feel. I often bring samples of the undyed, unpainted leathers to my presentations and exhibitions. These samples are available for visitors to touch and experience the unique textures of each species.
