  • One of the coolest parts of the undiscovered gem that is León, Mexico, is the Leather District, or Zona Piel. There you will find blocks upon blocks of leather goods -- shoes, purses, jackets, belts, and so much more. Did you know that Leon is the leather capital of Mexico? Learn that and so much more in this throwback Messy Suitcase video from our visit 2 years ago.

    First of all, I love your video.
    I can't believe how they work real leather and not plastic or rubber.
    Man, what a dream town!

    I’m spending the winter outside of Oaxaca. I’m going to Leon for sure in April for a few days as I work my way out of Mexico. But I plan to come back next winter for 6 more months. VERY WELL DONE VIDEO!

    Is Leon a place to find an artisan for a pair of 'custom' boots for to be created?

      You should go! Leon is an undiscovered gem, which means prices are cheap compared to major tourism cities.

    Beautiful video! I’m planning a visit to Leon soon just for the leather goods attraction. That was a pig not a cow they we’re butchering.

      Thanks for the clarification. I'm sorry I didn't get to taste it! After it was cooked, of course.

    This is my birth town, but sadly I have not been back for more than ten years. I need some new shoes for sure.

      And belts and purses and jackets, and maybe even a saddle or two.

    Leon leather market looks great. We're going there in a few weeks.
    The cow in the back of the truck is disgusting. I've seen that at a local taco place and a lot of people have gotten sick eating there. I don't know why a simple thing like handling meat properly is so hard here. They don't care what happens to people.
    We never eat a street vendor's they are the worst.

    I'll say carving up butching a cow on the street is a little weird to see, but ok 😋😁🤠👍👋👍
