This faux leather material is very slightly lighter in weight than Emmaline's Rex Faux Leather, but a fraction thicker because of the cotton backing. It's a very soft and supple feeling faux leatherette with very little shine and a speckled/textured appearance. A large piece has a dappled/mottled look, giving it the appearance and feel of real leather. It works well for bag making, and looks fantastic! Check the photos to see close-up shots of the thickness & backing. Beige & Spicy Mustard have white backing fabric, but the others have grey.
This does have a slight one-way stretch, so you may want to use a light interfacing with it, such as our EB-FUSE Light, or a similar interfacing if constructing a bag carrying a heavy load. The stretch runs across the width (selvedge to selvedge).
