BS Safari Lightning Southwestern Rough-Out Leather Hides & 12x12 Panels

This premium cowhide leather features a masterfully detailed lightning pattern inspired by classic, heritage southwestern trade blanket designs, embossed directly onto the split back side (BS) of the hide to create a rugged rough-out finish. By combining a timeless tribal geometric motif with a naturally scuff-resistant suede surface, this leather delivers a highly sought-after cabin aesthetic paired with durable commercial strength. Expertly finished by our 4th-generation tanning family using classic hand-applied aniline dyes, it balances a wonderfully pliable feel with long-lasting wear resistance.

Please note: Because of our unique washing process, artisan hand-rubbing techniques, and hand-applied aniline dye processes, colors will naturally vary from skin to skin, making every single hide and panel completely unique.

Our 12"x12" pre-cut craft panels are cleanly cut to size and absolutely perfect for custom southwestern wallets, detailed cardholders, rustic notebook covers, distinct hat patches, and premium bag accents. For larger production runs, our full hides offer premium cutting yields with zero minimum order rules.
