KRAFT-TEX

KRAFT-TEX

Kraft-Tex is a rugged paper that looks, feels and wears like leather, but cuts, sews and washes like fabric. It is supple and lightweight, yet strong enough to use for projects that get tough wear. It is an eco-friendly, color-fast, tear-resistant alternative to leather and vinyl, and comes in basic hues, as well as new hand-dyed colors.
