Python Embossed Cow leather, made from cowhide, is an excellent choice for DIY leather projects, such as arts and crafts, jewelry, leather earrings, bracelets, wallets, small leather goods, and patchwork. The key to success is having an inspirational idea. This leather is chrome-tanned and has a soft to medium temper. It comes in an average hide size of 3-5 sq. ft. and has a thickness of 3 oz (1.0-1.2 mm). Although it may have some holes or defects, it is free of PCP, Azo pigments, Chrome VI, Formaldehyde, and APEO, making it safe to use. To save on shipping costs, the leather is folded and inserted into a padded envelope. If you want to avoid creases due to folding, please contact us for special handling.
