notes from natasha
Always a challenge to find true veg tanned leather. This has a fabulous 'chewy' hand. It holds its pull up, resulting in a rich weathered look with character and depth.
Cayenne has a natural finish, soft deep rich color, with a semi matte texture.
Our premium leathers are sourced from top tanneries around the world including, Italy, France, Germany and the United States.
