Goatskin Hide

Premium Vegetable-Tanned Goatskin Hide - Single Hide

Perfect for leatherworkers who demand quality and versatility. This single full-grain goatskin hide averages 5-6 square feet, sourced from small family farms in Northern India.

Why Goatskin?

Goatskin offers the perfect balance of durability and workability - as strong as cowhide but softer, more flexible, and naturally water-resistant. It ages beautifully, developing a rich patina over time while maintaining its integrity.

Ideal for: Garments, bags, bookbinding, small leather goods, upholstery accents, and detailed tooling projects
