Description

Our Leather Offcuts come directly from high-quality leather hides used in the production of belts, bags, shoes, and furniture. These are not low-grade scraps — they’re leftover sections of genuine, full-grain or top-grain leather, trimmed to manageable pieces for crafting and repair work.

Each bag includes a variety of natural, dyed, and finished leather pieces, giving you a diverse range of materials to work with. The leathers may include smooth, pebbled, suede, or embossed textures — offering a wide creative palette for your next project.

Because every offcut is unique, no two packs are ever the same. You’ll find small to medium-sized pieces suitable for everything from intricate decorative work to functional leather repairs.
