Durable leather traditionally used for bookbinding. We stock a variety of colors and finishes as listed below:

Morocco - A somewhat rough texture made from repeating & various small pinhead sized bumps . Stamps basic type well. High detail logos may be difficult on the texture.

Antique - A fine texture sometimes referred to as "haircell". Accepts all hot foil stamping well including high detail. The blue & wine have darker shading throughout to give the "antiqued" look. The Ginger shows only light shading.

Skiver - A medium texture somewhere in between the Morocco & Antiques. Accepts all hot foil stamping well including some high detail. Grain looks somewhat like horizontal waves.

Pigskins: Durable leather that's just slightly thinner than cowhide. Accepts hot foil stamping well including high detail:

Glazes: A thick, soft & luxurious leather traditionally used for upholstery. This leather scratches easier than the rest but it looks and feels wonderful! Using a leather conditioner will help protect it and does remove scratches. There is an additional charge of $30.00. The colors are as follows:

Made by grinding up actual leather with some additives & then pressing out in different colors & textures. Has the look, feel and smell of actual skins but isn't as strong. However, is less expensive than other leathers & has a uniform look (no scars or flaws). Usually ordered for an edition of 50 or more, but we often have a color or two left over for individual bindings. Currently have black, green, cranberry, navy and dark grey in stock.
