Leather is an organic material. Over time, depending on how it is finished, it will absorb moisture. Various moulds will grow on (and in) it, gradual buildup of minerals can stiffen it, and moisture can cause the fibres that hold it all together to rot. Proper care can preserve leather for a long time, though!
