- Is this real Saffiano ?In Help! How do I...·26 October 2024I recently bought a bundle of "saffiano" hides from Springfield Leather in the US. I have limited experience with this leather and am questioning if it's real! The back looks like some kind of fabric, and there are small areas where you can see there's a layer of leather- or is it vinyl - glued to the fabric. I'm not sure maybe this is part of the process, but I can't make an unlined bag with these, and ... IS IT REAL? Thanks!! I;m only showing the bad parts of the hides. They are truly beautiful colors otherwise !~!13138

- Wrinkle in leatherIn Help! How do I...·20 April 2021Hi. I have a slight problem here. I used bonded leather to give a bit more form to the outer. I glued the whole bonded leather and not just the sides. I stitched it inside-out and it caused wrinkles. I tried to put conditioner and water for less than 5 minutes, but it’s chrome tanned and fully glued so the water did not fully penetrate. I tried using a home iron in different heat settings with a cotton fabric on top but it’s still wrinkly on the photo. I was wondering if there is a way to fix this or should I just find a way to put the bonded leather after? I am just a bit worried about alignment of the bonded leather when trying to stick it inside, which is why I tried this. Hoping to get some suggestions.13227

- Luxury house - Spitting leather for harmonizationIn Help! How do I...8 May 2021Thank you for your answer @Talitha Joy , maybe my question wasn't clear enough.. I'm not asking about paring to reduce thickness and go as an exemple from 2.8mm to 1.3mm. Let's say we have a piece that is 1.3mm in some parts and 1.2mm in other parts, paring the piece so it is 1.2mm all the way through, what does that bring in terms of feel? Do some of you always split the leather for thickness consistency throughout a piece?12
