- 2–3 oz / 5–6 oz
Atlantica Leather S.r.L. is a tannery operating in Santa Croce sull'Arno, Italy.
We are incredibly proud to be the sole supplier in North America for these gorgeous equine hides.
Produced using timeless vegetable tanning techniques, these hides are truly one of a kind.
The horse hides are meticulously scrapped by master tanners, to expose the shell. They are then tumbled to produce incredibly unique grain patterns. Some may have polished areas, and deep grain patterns in other spots. These arent your typical shells.
You won't find these anywhere else.

From the tannery
Atlantica Leather
Santa Croce sull'Arno, Italy
Vegetable tanned equine hides with beautiful variation and texture, finished with the flesh side in mind.
We are proud to be the sole supplier of these hides in North America.
Before you order
A natural material.
Real leather comes from real animals, and no two hides are alike. A few things worth knowing.
-
01
Natural marks
Every hide is different. Expect the odd scar, stretch or fat line, and occasionally a brand. They're part of the material.
-
02
Colour
Dye colour can vary between hides and from what you see on screen. If you need to match a colour, order a swatch book first.
-
03
Thickness
Weights are given as a range, like 2–3 oz, because thickness varies naturally across a hide.
-
04
Specific requests
Need an exact size, a certain part of the hide or several matching pieces? Get in touch before you order.
Care
Looking after your leather.
Good leather gets better with use. A little care keeps it that way.
-
01
Keep it dry
Water can mark leather, especially lightly finished hides. Blot spills straight away and let wet leather dry slowly, away from heat.
-
02
Condition sparingly
A light coat of conditioner every so often keeps leather supple. Test on an offcut first, as it can darken some finishes.
-
03
Let it age
Natural leathers darken with light and handling. That patina is part of the appeal.
-
04
Store it well
Keep hides flat or loosely rolled, never folded, somewhere cool and dry.
