Fair Calf

Our natural, undyed Fair Calf originates mainly from New Zealand and Scandinavia. The skins are vegetable tanned using Tara and/or Sumac. After tanning, they are dried on our 'glass' drying machine to enhance the natural smoothness and beauty associated with this quality of leather. The surface is absorbent and lends itself well to dyeing and other decorative finishing by the user.

You can see examples of books bound in our Fair Calf in the 'Showcase' area of our web site.
