Chrome-Tanned Bag Leather

Chrome-Tanned Leather for Bags and Leathercraft

Explore quality chrome-tanned bag leather from Mac-Lace Leather. Chrome-tanned leather is popular with bag makers because it is generally soft, flexible and available in a wide selection of colours, grains and finishes.

This versatile leather is ideal for creating handbags, tote bags, satchels, backpacks, wallets, purses, pouches and other leather goods. Depending on the individual leather, it may be suitable for an entire project or combined with firmer leather for straps, handles, bases and structured sections.

Why Choose Chrome-Tanned Bag Leather?

Chrome tanning produces leather that is typically supple, comfortable to handle and easier to fold or stitch than heavy vegetable-tanned leather. It is an excellent choice for projects requiring flexibility, rich colour and a softer finished appearance.

Our selection may include smooth, pebbled, printed, pull-up and other specialty finishes. Thickness, temper, colour and hide size vary between products, so please check the individual product description before ordering.

Suitable for Bag Makers of Every Experience Level

Chrome-tanned leather can be used by professional bag makers, leathercraft businesses, students and hobbyists. It works well for machine sewing and many hand-stitched projects, depending on the leather’s thickness and temper.

As genuine leather is a natural material, variations in grain, colour, markings and shape may occur. These characteristics are part of the individuality of each hide and are not necessarily considered faults.
