Wrinkle me to bring out my best character!

This leather was designed in Italy to illustrate how sophisticated and remarkably soft a casual leather can be. Featuring varying hues of color that cascade across the hide, this leather's authentic, worn-in aesthetic is marked by its weathered warmth and rich, tactile appeal. During tanning, hides are lightly dressed with oil and soft waxes and then lightly polished and milled to create a vintage look. This less-is-more approach in tanning preserves and celebrates the beauty of this natural material

Selkie has a natural finish, soft deep rich color and a soft texture.

This swatch is approx 2"x2" for previewing.
