We are excited to introduce a new variant to our Sokoto Bookbinding Goat collection
To highlight each skin's distinct shrunken grain pattern, a mixture of dyes are handswabbed onto each Nigerian "Sokoto" goat.
Each skin is then carefully polished to bring out the rich antique aged impression and to further accentuate the grain pattern
This is completely natural, aniline shrunken grain Goat leather with a huge amount of character. 100% Veg Tanned.
Our Vegetable Tanned, Farm Reared, African Goats are the perfect example of our commitment to using sustainable raw materials. Our signature raw material, these Goat skins are tanned by hand in a farming cooperative in Africa using only the Begaruwa seeds that grow on the Nilotica trees on their land. The skins are all tanned by hand, and twisted during the tanning process to create a beautiful, natural shrunken grain pattern that is unique to this particular raw material. Every single part of the animal is used by the cooperative, and the money raised from whatever is left over, including the hides is what supports the entire community.
