Crocodile Leather Suppliers & CITES

[Crocodile Leather Suppliers & CITES]

Hello,

Does anyone have any suggestions of where to purchase crocodile leathers in Australia, or a supplier who ships to Australia? Preferably leathers in bright colours. 

I've never worked with croc before and would love it give it a shot!

I'm also a bit unsure of how CITES works, trying to wrap my head around it - any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Dude,  your work is very professional and you should be proud of it.  

I look forward to your contributions .... especially because I'm such a novice and can only aspire to this level of work!

Best wishes for 2022

 

Thank you, I've been working with leather for a few years and I'm not particularly talented, so just keep at it and you'll get there. All the things in those photos can be achieved with the right tools and a bit of practice. Best wishes for you too!

Hello LH19,

Welcome here on the leatherworker-forum. These colours are indeed beautiful and as you say vibrant, indeed. Is the top picture showing the colouring of the flesh side of a leather piece? Interesting. Wish you all the best of luck with your work, much enjoyment with it.

Thank you - It's actually just applying glue, but using a paint spatula.

Hello,

I'm an aspiring leather goods designer from Melbourne, Australia, currently prototyping products, hand crafting everything myself.

I thoroughly enjoy working with leathers of vibrant colours, and I thought I'd share some pictures of the process.

It's really great to be here and admire all your work. The talent and skill on this forum is far beyond my imagination.

Cheers
