Large Genuine Leather Remnants – Upholstery Leather Pieces Bulk for Crafts, Wallets, DIY, Cricut, Repair (3 lb Pack). Large Pieces (Avg 8"x10" to 12"x18")

This is my second purchase from this company, but certainly not the last! My 3lb bag had just 5 pieces in it. One was what I would call small to medium rectangular. Two were long rectangles, more than suited to belts, making cords, bracelets, watch straps, etc. The final two pieces were irregular, but massive! I am again putting these to one side for the moment, as they are just too good to waste on small items. These deserve to be used on something special. Reupholstering a stool or chair would be easy. I am even thinking they could be used to make a jacket or other clothing with a little creativity, something big like that for them? Incidental!y rubbing alcohol will take a finish off the leather so it becomes absorbant and can be dyed. Then you wax it again or similar to make it waterproof again. The leather again seems to be very high quality, with a lovely leather smell. It is all about 1mm thick, with a smooth, polished outer surface. They were black and dark browns. Earlier I got the most wonderful big piece of London tan (a light, golden brown like English horse tack is before it gets oiled), although that too was about 1mm thick, soft and flexible. Thanks to this company, I have never been so spoiled for choice! I understand that it is the luck of the draw, and I feel sorry if you get smaller pieces and not many colors. But when you think a hide of this quality is likely to be $100+. During a personal disaster, I lost a lot of things, including all of my leatherworking tools and craft leather. I never had enough money to replace the stuff. Now I bought a basic set of tools for $16 from Amazon and two lots of this wonderful leather. So now i can make things again for just $50, less than half of a skin, and that includes even basic tools! I know some are disappointed by holes in the leather, today I got my first one, but it was in a corner and is no real loss. What you have to remember is where leather really comes from. It is not plastic and so uniform all the time, it truly is organic and so will contain imperfections from things like scars from barbedwire injuries or whatever. Even problems when processing the skins. This is part of leather and if you cannot use it as a "feature" in some way, then you have to work around it. Problems are unfortunate, but you have to accept them as part of the hobby or business. I thank the suppliers for giving me access to such wonderful leather, I would never be able to afford it otherwise.

I really like All the different types of textures of leather for Inspiring clothing artist getting a chance to see different textures colors of the leather is the best way to learning your leather because people could tell you all kinds of things they think till they're blue in the face. But that doesn't mean Jack until you get to feel it touch it see it smell it for yourself of course there's going to be badd reviews. Good things get bad reviews because the commpation that is what tells us there something good about this product. So before you go and buy yourself the biggest slab of skins why don't you buy a variety of different leathers and then maybe call , say "Hey! I'm really interested in.......? explain whatever it is that you're interested in . Then talk to him over the phone get a little bit more acquainted with him/she ask more questions. [ Better then buying online because ordering anything online there's a huge gap there just like sending a text message to somebody you don't know whats the emotion behind the text message. ] Give him/her a call talk to somebody tell them, " Hey I love your Products I was wondering if I could just get a certain kind . ] ask your questions being polite goes a long way. I guarantee you will get exactly what you want what you're asking for it just takes that little bit of time pressing them numbers pushing call. let's be more supportive for businesses :Letterman's because that's rough. Tell me can you Butcher a cow ? Then.. skin that cow? pease out the pieces of that cow? Rhen take the hide treat it as it needs to be treated to become leather. Can you do that any of you!? Can you ? .... all those with the band reviews can you do any of that? I'd like to see it. Plus someone new learning is working for there family probably learning I'm sure it sucks to get something that's not perfect. Give them a call to talk to them about it. Bet you they'll make it right. There one of the top companies for leather. They have no problem making customers happy. I'm happy thanks.

I had no expectations, but was pleasantly surprised by the amount of colors and textures. The pieces are big enough to actually use. Good buy

These scraps are exactly what I need! Not a bad price, either!

I've purchased the 3lb bag 3 times. The first bag was a decent bag with a nice assortment of usable pieces. It even came with 3 12×12 squares of leather in the same exact color and thickness. This is what prompted me to order again, hoping for the same luck or assortment. The second one came and was a huge disappointment. There was only black and gray pieces with one s/m size blue piece. Every piece had markings on it or was discolored with spots throughout the pieces. One piece even had a large hole in the middle of the leather. There was a small 9x4 piece in a very nice baby blue pebbled leather that I liked although it has a pen line around one edge; this piece is the only reason I did not return the second package. Now I know I should have stopped there, but I was still holding out hope I would get another good batch, so I ordered a third 3lb assortment. Big mistake! There was not one usable piece in it. It was all black with one bluish gray piece, all were the wrinkled remnants of a hide with 1-2 inches being much thinner than the rest of the piece. Needless to say, it's a gamble and you may or may not receive usable pieces. If you want to practice stitches or see how different conditioners or leather cleaners work, this may be an option, an expensive option but one nonetheless. I will not be purchasing again. NOTE: The sender includes a card in every package that tells you to contact them FIRST before leaving a review of you are unhappy. However, based on the reviews and others reaching out to them first, they do nothing to resolve your dissatisfaction other than let you know you can purchase whole sheets of leather from then instead of the assortment bag. This is truly a take a gamble purchase.

Package arrived ON TIME!, prompt, and packaged well. I am VERY PLEASED with this purchase. When I tell you to just purchase...PURCHASE! You will not be disappointed. The amount of leather scraps that are nice sizes are unbelievable! I will most definitely be purchasing from this vender again...SOON! Thank y'all for not false advertising. For I have been disappointed previously in the past. The color selection is beautiful! I was hoping to get some VegTan however, literally NO COMPLAINTS💯🫶🏾

Let me say first that i have bought from Memory Cross 6 times and never been unhappy with what was sent to me. The 2 pounds of "scraps" in those shipments always had large pieces that could be used to make wallets, purses, hats and many other craft projects. Most were around 2 to 5 sq ft and of pretty good gade. Few unuseable areas of leather. NOW, Lets talk about my 3 pound purchase, it is nothing but trash! The ad describes it as up to 15 pieces of leather suitable for crafts. I have a box of about 50 to 60 short strings cut from edges and a few, about 10, chunks about hand or foot size and another 20 to 30 hunks of crap no more than 3 inches wide or a foot long. I had hoped that going from 2vto 3 pounds would be a good buy. It was not. I cant use a thing in this box. Most of it has markings around all edges and some are written on all across the leather... Well, i guess i will pray for memory cross to get thier act together. Until then i will buy from a local store.

I got a few larger pieces of leather in this bundle ( one approx 12" x 30". Smaller pieces were assorted in size, one was 6" x 18"), but the pieces were much smaller than my haul from the 2 pound item from the same store. I got about seven colors. Nothing was too small to use. There were a few odd shaped pieces, but there is enough material to make a good craft with each. I think the smaller 2 pound item was a better value for the money, but I need larger pieces so this one might be better for you if you want smaller pieces. I received no "scrap only" pieces like some reviewers did. I was either lucky or the company has improved their quality control. A few pieces have a hole, but it was close to an edge. Most pieces would have still been usable if a hole was in the center, I just would have had more waste leather.
