About Italian Crackle Metallic Calf Suede
Italian Crackle Metallic Calf Suede is an Italian chrome-tanned calf/cow leather with a suede texture and a metallic crackle foil finish. The distressed surface gives each hide a reflective, textured look while still maintaining the soft hand of suede. These double butt hides average 16–22 square feet, offering a high-yield cut for designers, manufacturers, and leatherworkers working on larger or repeat-production projects.
At 1.2–1.4 mm (3 oz), Italian Crackle Metallic Calf Suede has enough weight for handbags, clutches, hats, footwear, accessories, heavier apparel, and some upholstery applications. The aniline dye and metallic crackle finish create natural variation from hide to hide, making it well suited for projects that need a fashion-forward leather with visual interest, structure, and a distinctive suede-based surface.
Please Note
Leather is a natural product. We strive to keep new lots within size, color, and quality tolerance, but some hides may have slight variations in size or color, or have natural imperfections such as scars or small holes.
Hide sizes may vary. Leather square footage isn’t measured as a true length-by-width area — it’s based on the hide’s surface area before finishing or shrinkage. Tanneries calculate footage from the raw hide stage and stamp the size on the flesh (back) side of the hide. We use the measurements provided by the tannery, but some variation in actual size is normal.
