Taiga calfskin is an embossed leather with a small cross grain. It comes as sides from a European tannery. The leather is semi aniline finished and dyed completely through.
The grain side has an embossed cross grain, and the flesh side is a smooth nap. The leather is firm, which gives structure to finished pieces. It is durable and suited to wallets, handbags and other small leather goods.
The hides are selected in top grades 1 and 2. Cutting yield is 85%+, and the finish is even. Splitting is not offered on these hides.
