Order SampleWith its superbly executed distressing and a supple, broken-in feel, it’s hard to believe this water buffalo leather isn’t a prized antique. A carefully chosen oil content gives this hide the perfect firmness for bags and offers a slight pull-up effect that looks even better in person. The flesh side looks and feels like suede so that your project exudes excellence from the inside out. Not to mention, we love that this leather yields professional, one-of-a-kind projects without breaking the bank.

"This is my go to leather. Works great for all kinds of bags. I LOVE using it when I can, great quality and easy to use."
"Love this leather so much. So soft but easy to work with. Making nice wallets and bags with it! Will definitely need more!"
"Been leaning more towards making bags and totes and this leather caught my eye. Made a new pattern of a pull string purse and it came out lovely. Wonderful leather and nice to work with. Order was shipped quick and came as described."
"It is a beautiful piece of leather. The back side is smooth as suede. Can’t wait to get cutting into it."
"I am starting learning to use a sewing machine and have been making tote bags this leather is great as the price and quality means I can practice without breaking the bank"
"The leather is fine, what there is of it. For the third time, the hides delivered were smaller than advertised. Maverick doesn't do this, Springfield doesn't do this, Tandy doesn't do this, why does Weavers expect me to accept this?"
"Wonderful piece of leather, thank you 😊"
