This top-quality veg tanned leather has an incredibly smooth surface, with only a slight gloss. A unique characteristic of this leather is its oil absorption producing a gorgeous patina that tends to darken and soften the leather over time. It's a great multi-use leather with a soft temper and buttery feeling. This leather has been used in everything from saddles to some of the most famous boutique leathercrafting shops around the world. 

This leather comes in a large square footage making it suitable for bigger projects like totes, bags and duffles. It's also perfect for belts, small leather goods and personal accessories.
