Why Choose Patent Goatskin?

Goatskin leather is naturally durable and resilient, with a tight grain and excellent strength-to-thickness ratio. When finished with a metallic patent coating, it becomes both visually stunning and abrasion-resistant—ideal for decorative and high-use items alike. The tortoise marbling effect adds a sense of organic luxury with a retro edge.

These metallic patent hides give leathercrafters a rare chance to work with premium exotic-style material in a manageable size and thickness. Whether you're looking to add shimmer to your projects or explore avant-garde design elements, the Tortoise Collection delivers character, quality, and versatility.
