Good to know

Description

Unembossed cow neck leather — every piece is unique: thickness, colour and grain always vary a little.

The dyed leather has one smooth, firm side; the back feels like suede. Dyeing lets you shift the tone, oiling boosts water resistance. Small natural variations in colour and texture are part of the character.

The leather is tanned and dyed in accordance with EU directives.

Lasering

Lasering produces a sharp smell that fades quickly. Worn a few times, key fobs, bracelets and wallets develop a lovely patina. Any soot marks on the surface wipe off with a damp microfibre cloth.

Tip: laser-cut holes make hand-stitching dramatically easier.

Uses & joining

Typical: key fobs and bag charms, bracelets, belts, picture frames, labels of every kind, bookbinding, equestrian gear and crafts. Leather joins with rivets and all manner of sewing techniques.
