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 animal's traces of life and develops a patina over time. With this type of leather, you must carefully arrange the templates for your creations before cutting.
