COLLAR LEATHER - PYKARA LEATHER

This collar leather comes from the Radermecker tannery. The natural Pykara collar is a full-grain, unpressed, uncorrected saddle leather with a smooth grain and flesh. This leather is milled with liquid oil emulsion to perfectly nourish the leather without giving it a greasy feel. This natural leather is ideal for embossing work and can also be used for hot stamping and hammering. Its structure makes it pleasant to cut and sew.

This leather is a "tannery choice," meaning the hides have been carefully selected and therefore have very few defects. As a reminder, flawless leather 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 lay out the templates for your creations before cutting.

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

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