"Making a bag or case with RADERMECKER Savica leather is a real pleasure. The leather is perfect for hand-sewing bespoke products, it can also easily be used for molding. It's smooth and firm at the same time, you feel it's so durable... Over time, products made with Savica develop a patina. I can only recommend this leather to all leatherworkers, a leather with such good nourishment, natural color, smooth, firm and durable."
