This leather is made from the Pirarucu fish of the Amazon. As the largest fresh water fish in the world, the hides they yield are quite large and cuttable. Once discarded as food bi-product in the region, these skins are regarded as more eco-friendly. Large trimmed scales form an amazing diamond texture throughout the hide.
Skins generally measure between 7-8 square feet and come in the approximate widths and lengths shown below.
