Artisanal Shrunken Calf Leather

For fifteen generations, the Mayer Family of New York has been in continuous business and has been creating 100% veg tanned handmade leathers of artisanal quality. As time has gone by, very little has changed at Pergamena Parchment and Leathers. THOL is proud to introduce more of Pergamena’s leather gems to the Crafting community.  This time, it is a variation, shrunken article of the same leather you have come to love. This comes in two colors, Cognac, and Saddle Brown.  We had them add some extra coat of waxy feel to the leather to kick it up another notch. Let us know what you think as you experience making with these awesome leathers. 

Being a vegetable-tanned leather, it uses natural tannins extracted from bark and other plant matter in the tanning process. This traditional tanning method results in a leather that is not only beautiful but is also environmentally friendly. Pergamena source the skins from sustainable farms and their leathers are a guaranteed byproduct of the food chain.
