Members wlg190861 Posted January 15, 2015 Members Report Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Is upholstery leather any good for making purses ? Edited January 15, 2015 by wlg190861 Quote
electrathon Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 Depending on the purse, yes. Not at all if you want tooling. Good choice if it is just a bag style. Quote
Members Wishful Posted January 15, 2015 Members Report Posted January 15, 2015 I have made several purses with upholstery leather with fine results. Quote
Members Pkay Posted April 15, 2015 Members Report Posted April 15, 2015 You need to appreciate the limitations of leather made for upholstery. It is thin, usually chrome tanned so it will not take any embossing, it is finished so will only take some dyes. However it will be fine for many other uses including bags, purses and even clothes. When I have been able to pick some up cheap it can be very useful. Quote
