Leather Hides Australia
Your Adelaide leather supplier
Dark Horns Leather supplies leather hides, sides and panels to makers across Australia. Based in Adelaide, South Australia, we offer free shipping on all hides Australia wide. Browse cowhide, calfskin and buffalo leather, and choose the cut and finish that suit your next project.
Choose leather for your project
For wallets and small goods, compare thickness, flexibility and the number of layers in your pattern. For bags, consider whether you need a soft drape or a firmer structure. Belts need suitable firmness and enough usable length; hide area alone does not tell you whether a belt strap will fit. Footwear uppers and linings have different requirements, so check each product specification.
Understand the finishes
Crazy Horse and pull-up finishes can show lighter tones when bent or stretched. Saffiano has a patterned surface; pebbled leather has a textured grain. Crocodile-embossed leather is patterned leather, so check the underlying hide type in the listing. Vegetable tanning describes the tanning process, not a guarantee that every leather can be tooled, dyed or moulded. Choose a product explicitly suited to your technique.
Check size and thickness before ordering
Square feet measure the total area of an irregular hide; millimetres measure thickness. A full hide, side and pre-cut panel are different cuts. Compare the usable shape with your pattern and allow for natural grain, marks and cutting waste. Colours can look different across screens and lighting. Read the listing and view its photos before ordering.
