A type of fine leather or soft leather shoe material, historically from the Dongola region of Sudan, or a shoe made from this material.
Named after Dongola, a historical region and city in Sudan along the Nile. The region was famous for leather production, and the material took its name from the place of origin.
Dongola leather was so prized for fine shoes that the place name became the product name—like how 'champagne' only means fancy sparkling wine if it's from the Champagne region of France!
