"These hides are great. Very soft and easy to work with."
"I bought this on sale to try it out. It is better than I expected. I will likely be getting more soon because it has given me lots of new ideas."
"Drapier than I expected, so unique! The finish is on the suedy side so it feels almost like fabric and really soft. The shimmer is lovely. The backside is a nice as well, a soft gray with good texture. I'm tempted to use it in reverse so the shimmer shows up on the wallet inside!"
