Characteristics and Use:
Impala hides offered are uniquely oiled with olive oil during the softening process, giving them a supple texture and a durable finish.
This natural treatment means the leather does not take well to dyes and stains, so we recommend embracing the authentic color that gradually evolves through the tanning process. Perfect for leather crafters seeking genuine materials, these hides develop a rich natural patina over time, enhancing the character of each piece. Whether used for lining, wallets or watch straps, Impala hides provide a distinctive, high-quality option for artisanal projects.
At Red Olive Design, we are committed to supplying leather craft tools and consumables that support creativity with integrity and craftsmanship.
 
NB:  This leather does not take well to water, so it is not recommended for the manufacturing of waders or items that will constantly be exposed to moisture.
