There's a lot of kitchen stuff made of silicone like roll up baking trays, trivets, and drink coasters.
Although not as classy as leather; silicone would be easy to clean and can never catch on fire so might make a good pipe resting spot when outdoors.
I found this spoon rest which looks nice for $1.
