Some Restrictions

Korba Buffalo Calf, Burnishable 100% Vegetable Tanned Hide, Purple

  • Korba Buffalo Calf: Our premium line of Buffalo Calf that we call Korba comes in full hides in 2 weights and sizes. The characteristics of Buffalo Calf are similar to that of traditional cow leather. Strength and durability are essentially equal. The primary difference is the grain texture. On Buffalo you will see a less uniform grain and more character when compared to the more uniform grain on a cow hide.
  • Highly Burnishable: The key element that sets our Buffalo Calf apart is the degree and beauty at which the leather will burnish. Burnishing the leather by rubbing causes the oils to come to the surface making it shiny and lustrous. You can either burnish the leather as you make your product, or our favorite, to let it naturally burnish from use. Over time our Korba leather will darken and patina beautifully. 
    • To burnish the leather yourself we recommend that you use a clean soft brush or cloth, the same kind you would use for your shoes, and gently rub the surface.
  • Korba Buffalo calf is great for small leather goods such as wallets, key chains, journals, shoes, bags, high-end accessories, and much more.

Plum purple

I love the color but I do find that the purple, because I have bought three rolls of it now, can sometimes be a little stiffer than the other colors. But it does make a beautiful finished product. I have a small business making leather journals and this color is very popular.

I am very satisfied with the Korba Buffalo calf leather. I have made five min- totes with it so far. It is very easy to work with and looks great. The only problem is, it looks so good.

Korba Buffalo Calf,

Beautiful grain. Perfect weight for binders and wallets. And firm enough for small bags. Brilliant color. Adding the rest of the pallet to have on hand.
