When you use shrunken sealskin, you can leverage its unique look to elevate your project to a higher level of quality. The pronounced grain can either be used to enhance a rougher look or in contrast, a simple modern design to create a more dynamic overall feel. Since this is full-grain leather, you will find the texture to be naturally varied throughout the hide. The tighter grain will be characteristic of the top of the hide with a bigger and more pronounced texture towards the bottom. Many bespoke craftsmen will use this variation to their advantage when selecting which portions to use. You will often see, for instance, the top of the hide running vertically down the center of a bag, thus giving it a flow of direction and leading the eye.
