Shipping & Returns
Hello! We ship everyday. On US Federal Holidays no mail moves - you *may* see a label print, but it will leave the next mailing day.
Here is our detailed shipping policy.
Please keep shipping insurance (Package Protection) in your cart. If you take it out, you will have to file your own claim with USPS or UPS.
PRE ORDERS ship as stated in the listing -- usually these take some time to arrive. IF YOU COMBINE in stock items with a preorder they will ship TOGETHER at one time.

Lighting changes how rich or light caramel looks – the photos are unedited and taken near a window.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is each piece?
Each piece measures 18" x 54".
Can I sew it on a home sewing machine?
Yes. Use a leather or Microtex needle and lengthen your stitch to about 3–3.5mm. A Teflon or walking foot helps it feed smoothly. Hold layers with clips instead of pins.
Do I need interfacing?
Not for most structured and semi-structured bags. If you want extra body, fuse interfacing to the wrong side.
Can I iron it?
Don't touch a hot iron to the front. Press from the wrong side with a Teflon pressing sheet, or flatten seams with a seam pounder.
Is it real leather?
No. It's a vegan faux leather with a supple, leather-like feel.
Is this the same as adhesive craft vinyl?
No. This is sewing vinyl for bags and accessories – it has no adhesive backing and isn't meant for cutting machines like Cricut.
What patterns work well with it?
Try the Frida, Stevie, Santorini Tote, Hendrix, Baez Bucket Bag, Joni and Fogerty patterns, or browse all our bag patterns.

I made a small purse and I love it. Just a note, tuner is some stretch to the fabric so be careful when making straps.
I have never worked with faux leather that looks like suede and am intrigued to find a new project!
Love it
