Click on image to enlarge I am pleased to show potential customers the quality of the materials I use in making my custom leathergoods. Choose a color range, or if "other", leave a message in the request window that you will find during the ordering process. Lining swatches will be included with the leather samples. I am in the process of updating this page... There are new colors not shown and some shown are no longer available. The new Chocolate (Moody Brown) and Chestnut are shown on the designer handbag page. I try to keep these leathers and colors in stock at all times. Their true color may show up better on the pictures of actual items. I also have Navy Blue leather, Cognac, pebble grain leathers in Black, Tan, and Chocolate Brown, really soft leathers (similar to deerskin) in Browns, Tan and Burgundy as well as embossed Alligator in Cognac and Plum, Shrunken Grain leathers, Buffalo Calf in Brown and Black, and Brown Kangaroo leather. 1-Ultima Brown, A through dyed wine brown, smooth almost unmarked #1 top grain cowhide. The true color of this leather can be seen better on the enlarged view of the DIANA handbag where it is used for the trim color and strap. It's more of a Brandy Wine color than the grape shown here. 2- Ultima Black, Through dyed, smooth #1 top grain cowhide. Shown as the DIANA handbag body leather. This is the same tannage as Ultima Brown. 3- Soft Chocolate, A through dyed, top grain naked leather, very soft, it has been tumbled to produce a small amount of pebble. This shows the true color on my monitor, on the Large Tote view. Chocolate #2 is used on the designer bags and is the same tannage as the Cedar, Black Cowhide and Dark Brown. It has some surface finish and is not an open grain naked leather like the Soft Chocolate. 4- Black Cowhide, Through dyed, top grain naked leather, very soft with slight pebble markings and is the same tannage as the Chocolate #2, Cedar, and Dark Brown. This leather can be seen in the CRESCENT handbag enlarged view. 5- Cedar, I ran out of the Cedar color shown. The new Cedar is about the same color but not as shiny. This is the same tannage as the Black Cowhide, Chocolate #2, and Dark Brown. 6- Forest Green, has some oil in it to make it stain resistant and waterproof, looks dark and almost black in low light. Shown, 'under the lights' on the CUTIE Handbag. The back is a nice suede, don't be afraid of this color because of the name, think of it as deep rain forest green. On my screen it looks it's true color on the small Backpack. 7- Black Dove, A heavier thickness naked top grain cowhide used in larger bags so they can carry a lot of weight and still maintain their shape. True black with some pebble markings. Very understated elegance when using the more satin finished Ultima leather as trim. Can also be used on the body of smaller bags for a more structured look. This can also be used for black trim. 8- Thin Black Dove, Looks almost the same as the heavier Black Dove but is a thinner leather like the other bag leathers above. This is a full grain leather with the grain visible but has a slight black finish that resists stains. 9- Dark Brown (moody Brown) is used on the designer handbags and is the same tannage as the chocolate #2, Cedar, and Black Cowhide. Pigskin Linings: The Black is a full grain pigskin as is the Barley. The Barley is a tan/ straw/ wheat color.
