COLLAR LEATHER - PYKARA LEATHER

This collar leather comes from the Radermecker tannery. The natural Pykara collar is a full-grain saddle leather that is unpressed, uncorrected, with smooth grain and flesh. This leather is worked in a drum with liquid oil in emulsion, in order to perfectly nourish the leather without having a greasy feel. This natural leather is ideal for embossing work and can also be used for hot stamping and hammering. Due to its structure, cutting and sewing operations are pleasant.

This leather is a "tannery choice", meaning that the skins have been carefully selected and therefore have very few defects. As a reminder, leather without defects does not exist. Vegetable tanned leather is a quality leather that does not hide the traces of the animal's life and develops a patina over time. With this type of leather, you must carefully arrange the templates of your creations before cutting.

Characteristics of the natural Pykara collar:
The natural Pykara collar is fed with emulsion oil. This is a liquid oil food that is added to our fulling mills. Having no dye, the natural Pykara collar can be tinted and the slices made with slice dye.
The natural Pykara collar can be used for all leather goods, small leather goods and cutlery items: belts, wallets, card holders, key rings, bags, satchels, pouches, bracelets, watch straps, desk pads, knife cases, dog and cat collars...
It can also be used in furnishing, such as for the creation or restoration of chair or armchair seats in rigid and thick leather, for covering the work surface of an office or for covering the doors of a dressing room.

Care tips for the natural Pykara collar:
Work the food in properly on the grain and flesh sides. Once damp, you can dry the leather at room temperature. This will stiffen it, which is the ideal process for molding or embossing.
