글로즈드 디자이너 스몰 스킨 블랙

The black is deep and even across the whole hide, and at 1–2 mm it’s got just enough firmness for structured pieces without feeling stiff. I’ve already cut two panels and the edges burnish up nicely.

The weight on this hide is perfect for small leather goods—thin enough to fold cleanly but substantial enough to feel premium. I was surprised how evenly the black is saturated across the entire skin, no patchy spots at all. Definitely grabbing another one for my next project.

The black is so deep and glossy it looks almost wet in good light, and the chrome tan gives it a nice, supple hand right out of the bag. I’ve been using a piece for a wallet lining and the 1.2mm thickness is easy to skive but still holds its shape.
