A smooth leather surface

Running your hands on leather, like a leather sofa or other items, and feeling its smooth surface denotes the fulfillment of your dreams especially your artistic pursuits. This means that your upcoming success and achievement would likely not happen in your regular work or usual routine, rather this would happen for your passion projects or undertaking of yours on the side.

Specifically, you may lose a significant portion of your assets and experience being impoverished. You may go broke because of impractical purchases or indiscriminate spending, so you may have to rein in your impulsive buying sprees.

Cleaning or washing leather items

Cleaning or washing leather items, such as wiping off molds and treating the leather with solutions, unfortunately means you could get sick sometime soon or someone you love could suffer through health issues. You may have been focusing too much on work and other commitments, so your body has started to react negatively to being overworked and stressed out. As such, the leather requiring cleaning depicts an unhealthy body which needs medical attention, perhaps this also means that you have to take better care of yourself or you have to take care of your loved ones so you can make more memories together.

Cutting leather

Dreaming of cutting leather, such as tracing the pattern of a leather handbag or for a crafts project, means you may get yourself involved in petty arguments or debates. Negligible issues may spiral into something bigger. This could be fueled by irrational emotions or occur during a drinking session making it more likely for things to get out of hand. When cooler heads prevail, it may not turn into a serious mess, but if you allow emotions rather than reason to get in the way, then you may have a harder time at fixing things.

Buying leather items

Buying leather items like belts and bags, perhaps when you bought a leather jacket for yourself or a bag as a gift for someone, means bullies may try to break your spirit or intimidate you in your workplace. It is also possible that you would run into trouble with a group of people who may try to ostracize you from your social group or even discredit you by criticizing your character. They may be working against you out of pure spite, though it is also possible that you have committed errors that you are not acknowledging. Some self-awareness may help you know exactly where you stand on this predicament.

Pleather instead of leather

Pleather or artificial leather usually made from plastic or polyurethane material suggests possible defamation or character assassination against you. There are personalities in your social circle whose alliances may easily shift when they have something to gain from your downfall. In a way, this could be an early warning for you to start being more socially savvy or even more discerning in choosing your friends and allies both at work and in your personal affairs. Being too trusting and naive could easily make you vulnerable to lies and betrayal in general.
