Cape-Maroquin® Goatskins
The Pinnacle of Fine Goatskin Leather

 

Strictly speaking, history has always referred to the finest goatskins for bookbinding (and fine leather goods making) as Maroquin, Levant, or Morocco. Some writers have defined all three of these types of leather as one type, but this is untrue. While Levant and Morocco are most often accepted in bibliography as having fine pin-head grained, Cape-Maroquin® is a very old breed of goat from the Cape of Good Hope area of Africa. The skins of these goats provide an amazingly exquisite natural grain leather.Cape-Maroquin®Goatskins have a very large, lightly pressed & polished natural grain, and hitherto has been higher in price than all other leathers generally used within the art of bookbinding and fine leather goods making.

For over 80 years, Franz Hoffmann-Stuttgart has taken great pride in their special arrangement with the makers of this exquisite leather, and Bookbinders Workshop is very pleased to be able to called the exclusive supplier of this most amazing leather!
