Description
Long hair cavallino calfskin in brown with off white – a natural two-tone coat where warm brown and cream fall as they grew on the animal, so no two hides carry the same pattern. The coat is left full length, giving it movement and depth that a clipped hide cannot. Hides run 6-9 square feet at 2/3 oz.
Why Choose Brown and Off White Cavallino
- Natural markings – every hide is different, so a piece cut from one is unrepeatable
- High contrast between warm brown and cream, which reads from across a room
- Full-length coat with movement and depth that a clipped hide cannot give
- Calfskin base, finer and more uniform than cowhide of the same weight
- Generous 6-9 sq. ft. hides for panels and decor pieces
Best Uses for Brown and Off White Cavallino
- Handbags, clutches and statement accessories
- Cushions, throws and decor
- Boots, shoe panels and western footwear
- Garment panels, collars, cuffs and yokes
- Costume, stage and film wardrobe

The Hide
Ordering
This is a natural hide, so the markings shown are an example of the type rather than the hide you will receive – placement and the proportion of brown to cream vary from skin to skin. Plan the cut around the pattern rather than expecting it to repeat, and if a project needs two matching panels, buy a hide large enough to take both. The cream areas show handling, so work with clean hands, and cut from the back with a blade, laying every panel the same way round.
