Rapture Handiwork Cowhide is an aniline-dyed, embossed leather with a hand-rubbed effect that highlights the valleys of the pronounced, pebbled texture. This creates a leather that looks well-worn and loved and can create a one-of-a-kind finished piece. The characteristic finish effect of this leather artwork is applied by hand; the resulting variance in design adn color are part of its natural beauty. As a hand-crafted leather, there will be some variation in coloration and boldness of the hand-rubbing effect within a hide and from hide to hide.
