A trip to my leather supplier is like walking into a bright large candy store. There's over 1000 square feet of printed, metallic, patent, and colored skins in every different animal you can think of. Sometimes it feels a little claustrophobic as the aisles are tight and I fear that a huge roll of cowhide will fall onto me.
I picked out a few different leather skins, but I was very tempted to buy more.
I've included the Selby's video of Mitch Alfus, one of New York's leather kings, as I thought it was fitting for this post. It's simply touching and wonderfully documented. If you have ten minutes to spare, you should watch it.

Such an awesome store! I love leather and it's a really cool video! xoxoxoo
ReplyDeleteWOW! I wish I were there, just did a clutch DIY and I found it so hard to find a fine piece of neon yellow leather. I ended up with white skai instead :(

How much would each meter cost?
ReplyDeleteTeagan,
DeleteLeather is priced per square foot. Each piece is shaped differently, and it's not on a roll like fabric.
