Description
Sheen cow suede is a double butt split finished with a fine glittery sheen worked into the nap – not a foil laid on top, but a shimmer that sits in the surface and catches light as the piece moves. The base is a firm European cowhide split, so it holds a line despite the soft hand. Pieces run 12-14 square feet at 3/4 oz. (1.3-1.4 mm) in Black, Chestnut, Tan, Steeple Gray, Bronze Green, Mood Indigo and Real Teal.
Why Choose Sheen Cow Suede
- Glittery sheen worked into the nap, so it will not flake off the way a surface foil can
- Cut from double butt splits, the firmest and most consistent part of the hide
- Seven colours, several of them deep jewel tones that are rare in suede
- Useful 3/4 oz. weight that holds structure in a bag or an upper
- Large 12-14 sq. ft. pieces, so a full panel cuts without piecing

Ordering
Sheen cow suede is sold by the piece, and each one falls within the size range you choose. Suede shows nap direction and the sheen shifts with it, so lay all the panels of one project the same way round or they will read as two different shades. Test any adhesive or finish on an offcut, as a glittered nap takes them differently from plain suede.
