White Suede Deerskin Splits
Deerskin Splits are lightweight. They come sueded on both sides. They are ‘split’ from Top Grain Deerskin resulting with the suede on both sides.
Deerskin Splits are super soft. You will find them ideal for making crafts like pouches and dolls. Splits are too light for most clothing.
We sell our White Deerskin Splits by the hide. They cost $6.50 per sq. ft. Select from the square foot sizes listed. If you do not see the size you are looking for, please call us.
