With the needs of the fashion industry changing constantly, shoe designers are always looking towards raw materials that can deliver a high degree of style and functionality.

At Packer Leather, we bring together these two key design components in the form of an ultra-lightweight, strong and durable leather that can be engineered into shoes for lifestyle, orthotic, dress and casual markets.

Furthermore, our lifestyle leathers can incorporate performance finishes and cosmetic applications to create a greater point of difference. Options include:

• Anti-microbial treatment
• Waterproof or water resist technology
• Durable water-based finishes
• Special metallic and pearlized finishes
• Antique or rub-off effects
• Oily or waxy pull-up finishes
• Abrasion resistant technology
• Naturally tumbled grains
• Fine grains or a extensive range of emboss textures
