Size

The leather pieces are irregularly shaped, so the stated A4 or A3 size is approximate and refers to the overall size of the piece, not an exact rectangular shape.

Each piece of genuine leather is unique. Individual pieces may vary slightly in shade, grain, shape, and surface pattern — these are natural characteristics of the material.
