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:
|
|
|
Midnight Blue |
|
|
Obsidian (Black) |
|
|
Wine |
|
|
Tobacco (Reddish or Rust Brown) |
|
|
Chocolate (Dark Brown) |
|
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 ½ the price of other leathers & has
a uniform look (no scars or flaws). Usually ordered for an
edition of 50 or more, but we usually have a color or two
left over for individual bindings. Currently have black, green,
wine and red in stock.
|
On larger orders (50+), a world of leathers in different
colors and finishes are also available for special order, please
call for more information.
