★★★★★ Beautiful Leather, Incredible Colors, and a Dream to Work With! This is terrific leather! Working with it is almost more like working with a textile than leather. It’s remarkably consistent in thickness, easy to cut, and an absolute pleasure to sew. The colors are deep, rich, and fully penetrated, and the full hides are HUGE. I was impressed enough to purchase eleven different colors! The quality has been consistently excellent across all of them. One thing worth mentioning is that, because of the finish, this Nappa has a slightly more synthetic hand than some other leathers. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s something to be aware of depending on your project and preferences. Another wonderful surprise is the flesh side. On many of the hides, it’s every bit as beautiful as the grain side! Take a look at my photo of the teal tote with the tassel—that gorgeous suede-like texture is actually the reverse side of the very same leather. Shipping was fast, communication was excellent, and the entire purchasing experience was a pleasure. I’m using this leather in my handmade bag collection, and I’m genuinely impressed with its quality, versatility, and beautiful range of colors. Highly recommended!
