Goatskin can range from 4 sq. ft. to 9 sq. ft. per skin so please order by the square foot, and we will adjust your total once the skins are chosen for you. It's best to order the minimum you can use, and we'll try to get as close as possible to your requested square footage. Be aware though that your actual cost may be somewhat higher, as we may have to give you more square feet than your requested minimum. As a frame of reference, Kathryn Brenne, our leather guru, recommends about 16 square feet for a medium size handbag. She also says to allow about 10% extra for waste.
Goatskin is a special order item so there are no discounts. It takes approximately 1-2 extra days. It is not as easy to come by as some other leathers, so the availability of colors is subject to change. We make every effort to match skins for texture and color when they will be used in the same garment or accessory, but please note that there may be variations due to the nature of leather. Occasional marks on the skins, rib lines or small holes around the edges are normal when dealing with real leather skins. Also, please take into account that although the web colors that you see are our closest approximation of the actual color, how they are seen on your monitor may vary. Pantone numbers should also be considered an approximation, due to the variability of leather.
