notes from natasha
Tons of character. This lambskin will age well. Condition as needed to treat scuffs. This leather is well suited for any R&T bag design.
This lambskin is 'washed' to give it the body and thickness needed for a rugged bag that is meant for everyday use.
Washed lamb is a little thicker with more character. It is fully pigmented making natural scratches buff out. It has a natural moderate resistance to water, wear, and weather. Being a natural finished leather it will gain a natural patina over the years and benefits from moderate conditioning.
Additional cost on custom designs is $20 This swatch is approx 2"x2" for previewing. Swatches are final sale.
