After a couple of weeks of hard work (and some last minute technical glitches) I’ve finally launched the first of the new leathers this morning. There will be some more released over the next couple of weeks, but available immediately are eight new leathers that have gone live on my store page. I hope you like them.
African Kudu. This is something a bit special. Kudu are wild antelope that live on the African plains. I’ve chosen leather that is un-dyed so every scar and mark caused by life in such a dangerous place is visible in the finished strap.
Horween Derby. This is a pure veg tanned steer hide – very soft and with a slight pull-up. It reminds me a little of the Saddle leather I had some years ago, and I expect it to be every bit as popular.
Lapis Blue. This is a semi-matt calf leather produced by an Italian tannery just outside Florence in a beautiful deep blue colour.
Lemon. This is a lighter weight veg tanned full grain leather in a bright lemon colour. Perfect for summer.
Emerald. One of my personal all-time favourites. A full grain pure veg tanned leather with a matt green appearance.
Moss Green. This is a heavy weight steer hide from Horween with a cross hatch texture. It makes a lovely strap.
Heavy Horse. A heavy weight horse hide with a very slight pull-up. Very soft and in a rich, deep brown.
Grey Suede. This is the only suede I have available and is very soft and comfortable. I’m leaving the edges unfinished with this one for a casual look.
