Fish, Fur, and Feathers Box
6 lbs (maybe a little more), of nice pieces of pirarucu (fish) and some really good ostrich pieces, plus one ostrich leg.
In addition, Bonus leathers (at no cost to you) could include one or two veg lambskins, a hair on goatskin, and hair on cowhide pcs and who knows what else. The “what else” thing could be really cool!
Now, it should be said that there will be some smaller ostrich, but there is a good amount of really, really good, larger stuff (with and without quill) that will easily justify the purchase. As to the fish, you probably won’t cut full sized wallet backs out of it, but it will work very well for minimalist and card wallets and will make amazing sheaths as well as holster overlays. The veg lamb is something that you’ll have to figure out for yourself. We made journal covers and adventure bags out of it that were really cool! The hair on skin is a bit strange…. Very fine, slick hair and would work well for the front of a bag or for small accessories. The end result to you should be the ability to offer some very high-quality exotic leather products, such as wallets and other personal leather goods and accessories, to your customers. Depending on your market, the ostrich leg by itself could easily pay for your entire purchase! You will like what you get, and we've got a good supply! Happy Days!

I received my box today and so excited. I need Scraps and that is what I received. The sizes of the scraps are perfect for what I need them for!! I am glad I bought local!! Now as the description says these scraps are the size of your hand or less some pieces larger. Perfect for me!!! Thank you!!
Worth the money!

Lots of great sized pieces, good for wallets! I probably got about 15 square feet.

This is a mostly good package, with some small scrap but mostly useable leather. The ostrich had very small quills, but we’re mostly about 3-4 square foot pieces , overall it was great!

SLC technically describes it accurately. I’d be happier if it resembled the picture but most was strips and large amount of this is unusable. The big ostrich piece has a VERY strong odor- and not the high end leather smell some people complain about. Hopefully it’ll mellow after airing out for a few weeks. The picarucu looks like some took a cheese grater to it. I would return if I wasn’t confident I could break even on some minimalist wallets (out of the ostrich- combined with mostly cow). The bird is the only good part of this order. 100% would not order again. Not very happy with it.
Not the best- some useable

Most of what I got doesn’t seem very useable, a lot of pieces are so narrow or small that it makes them mostly useless. Additionally the picarucu pieces have a tattered finish to it. Two pieces have a decent enough look to maybe be used as accent piece on a bag. I’m not sure the rest is useable. The ostrich had some useable pieces and is the only redeemable part of this order. One is big enough for a small bag (but sting odor- beyond just leather), a few pieces are big enough for wallets or card slots. The rest is narrow trimmings that will either inlay or keychains. Not the most pleased with this order would definitely not order again, I get that it’s exotic but it still has to be useable.
Not what I expected.

I guess my expectations were different than what I received.
