Working with Black Python Leather

Advantages: Python is more flexible than crocodile, easier to work with than stiff exotics, and the scale pattern naturally hides stitching and seams. The black finish is forgiving and versatile.

Considerations: As a natural product, scale size and pattern density vary across the skin. The belly section features the most uniform diamond pattern, while back sections show more irregular scaling. Plan your pattern layout to showcase the most dramatic sections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this genuine python leather in authentic black?
A: Yes, this is 100% genuine Reticulatus Python with a professionally applied black finish – not embossed cowhide or synthetic snakeskin.

What makes our Python unique?

As a tannery, the selected skins we ship are very fresh & soft - guaranteeing that timeless quality will endure for your leathercrafting & designing goals w/ lifetime value. This is because the python skins we source were tanned, by our end-to-end facility, from wet salted raw skins near to their natural habitat in Malaysia.

Middlemen or Suppliers that import crispy air dried crust to save money on shipping will be attempting to re-hydrate dry skin - it will be abundantly clear as to how the difference can be felt, & seen.

What determines Python costs?

  • How are python skins priced?

Additionally, processing larger skins at the tannery involves more labor, chemicals, and materials, adding to the cost. These skins are in high demand for luxury items like handbags and garments, which further increases their price.

  • What size variations are available for python skins?
    Python skins vary widely in size, and as a result, prices fluctuate based on the dimensions and quality of the skin. Larger skins, being rarer, tend to be more expensive than smaller ones.

Caring for Exotic Leather: FAQ
