Best Leather Scraps and Remnant Bags for Practice and Small Projects

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Leather scraps are offcuts and remnants from larger hides, usually sold by the pound in mixed bags or as bundled panels. For home leatherworkers they are the cheapest way to practice stitching, stamping, dyeing, and edge finishing without risking a full side, and the larger pieces are big enough for keychains, card sleeves, and small pouches. Quality varies enormously between sellers, so look for listings that state the tannage mix, since veg tan scraps behave very differently from chrome tan, and that guarantee a minimum piece size. A stated thickness range helps too, and photos of a real bag beat stock images, because some bundles are mostly thin slivers.
