Blakeney is now available!

A classic milled Goat with a soft, mellow, plump tannage and natural even milled grain pattern.

Each skin is hot tumbled to create a raised round "pebble" grain pattern.

The aniline finish has a subtle hand tipping and natural sheen to the grain, resulting in a beautifully soft, natural leather perfect for handbags and small leather goods.

Available in colours:
Coral, Crab, Deep Sea, Dune, Kite and Tawny
