Small leather goods, bags, linings & book covers
*Being full aniline there can be some contrast along the center of the back. This is normal and something book binders and wallet makers try to place this along the fold in the book or wallet. Please confirm with us before splitting if you have any size limitations and we can ensure you will receive the right hide.
