Shark leather is world known for its rough, course texture. In the coarser developments of shark skin, it has been used like sandpaper for polishing. However, the finer tanned shark skins are used for shoes, handbags, and other leather items. Highly sought after, these skins are by-products from fishing villages and international cuisine.
All of our leather is coming from non-endangered and non-threatened shark species and no CITES is required. Currently, we’re offering black fin species in 1 to 4 oz thickness in a rough or soft-tanned presentation.
Tanning Technique
Our shark skins have extra oils to produce a much softer, almost fabric-like or garment-grade leather. Additionally, the outer surface can be skived if a nubuck or suede finish is desired, a simple do it your self technique is to apply high grid sandpaper.
Availability
Due to high demand, shark leather availability varies greatly from season to season. Thus, we recommend carefully calculating your needed yield and purchasing enough material for your project all at once. Shark skins range from 4-10 square foot and are sold as they come in from nature.
