notes from natasha
Pyrite is a 'bridge neutral.' This is a color and tone that works well to bridge two other colors in one's design. Developed for us years ago. Pyrite is slightly more shimmery than pewter with slightly more brown undertones.

In house available, no up-charge for custom designs.

 

It has taken many years to build relationships with some of Italy's most exclusive boutique tanneries.

This cowhide is soft with a subtle metallic sheen. It has a natural moderate resistance to water.

As mentioned, metallics are not an everyday leather. If worn often metallic leathers will age and gain character just like a veg tan leather. The look overtime is similar to a well-worn pair of jeans. Over time the leather will look distressed.

This swatch is approx 2"x2" for previewing.

Swatches are final sale.
