Bring high-end luxury and rich tactile texture to your handcrafted bags with the Bran Basket Weave Faux Leather by Sallie Tomato. Featuring an embossed diagonal woven basketweave pattern in a classic, warm saddle-tan cognac brown, this specialty faux leather offers the look and feel of designer braided leatherwork without the complicated assembly.
Sallie Tomato faux leather is specially formulated for bag making and home sewing. It is soft, pliable, and easy to manipulate around curves, yet strong and structured enough to support totes, backpacks, and everyday carry essentials. It cuts cleanly without fraying, wipes clean easily, and sews smoothly on standard domestic home sewing machines.
