Lado Sienna Plano Veg-Tan

I was pleasantly surprised by how this leather side holds its shape without feeling stiff—the smooth texture makes it a joy to work with for smaller projects. The brown dye is rich and consistent across the whole piece, which was exactly what I was hoping for.

The black color has this deep, even dye that looks rich under any light, and the leather's smooth surface takes a nice patina after just a few weeks of use. I’ve been cutting straps and small goods from this side, and the lack of stretch when dry makes it predictable to work with.

The surface is remarkably smooth and even, which made cutting and skiving a breeze. I chose the brown and the tannery dye job is rich and consistent edge to edge, no fading or strange patches.
