Hello, I'm kind of new to the leather thing and I don't really understand all the different kinds and what exactly is the kind I need. Basically I'm interested in creating some bags, but not the thick stiff leather bags. More of a softer leather. I don't want a lot of texture on the leather and I'm looking for light browns, medium browns, medium grays, and blacks. Attached is a closeup photo of some gray leather that is along the lines of what I have in mind. Any guidance you guys could offer me in this arena would be great. What type of cow leather will be able to get me something like I want? Is there any kind of process I'll need to apply to get the smooth minimal-texture look I want? Will I be able to buy the leather in the colors I want or will I need to look into dying it?
Sorry for all the questions, but I really am new and very excited about learning more. Again, any help you could offer me would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
