What we liked

  • + Every piece is stated as 6 to 16 inches, so the pack avoids tiny offcuts and can yield wallets and notebook covers
  • + Thickness is given as 1.1 to 1.8 mm, a workable range for keychains, earrings, tags and card holders
  • + Mixed colors and textures in each pack, described as soft leather that can be cut, sewn, dyed and pressed

Trade-offs

  • - Sold under a generic brand name, and the listing notes small surface marks, scratches and color variation
  • - Colors are a random mix, so you cannot choose shades or count on matching pieces for one project
