Perfect for bags

Great hide, smooth flesh. No need to line your bag. Takes a great burnish/edge burn.

Superior quality leather for high end work.

Wow. This is really superior quality leather. I bought one full side in navy blue and one full side in Chestnut. Both are incredibly high-quality and perfect for the high-end products I sell. The specific nature that makes them unique is the waxy Rich feel. The leather is also exceptionally good for...

One of my favorites

Phenomenal color, I will be using this side to cut into coasters and stamp with a logo. The quality is great! I was able to get 200 4” circular coasters out of this side. The service was great, fast shipping!
