Loudcherokee Report post Posted January 28, 2021 Thats beautiful! I'm new to all this, so may I ask if that pebbley texture is a product of it being calf skin or is it embossed that way? Where did you get that leather from? I've got a couple of projects in mind that I want to use that texture on but don't know where to find that kind of leather.

Lc Hi, The texture is a feature of this type of calf skin and the photo's do not do it justice, it really is beautiful. It's called Taurillon Lagon and it comes from France. I purchased it on-line from Europelle in Hong Kong, they are very good to deal with, but it only comes in a few colours. Almost forgot to mention that this only comes from Bull Calves. Hope this helps, Doug Edited January 30, 2021 by Doug61 spelling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
