Teju Lizard Leather, Full Skin, Exotic Leather

What is Teju Lizard Leather: Teju lizard skins are highly valued for their distinctive scale pattern, structural integrity, and versatility. The small, irregular, and tightly knit scales create a unique texture that will make beautiful and distinctive leather accessories. With dense fibers providing high tensile strength, teju leather is durable, lightweight, and supple—ideal for crafting items like wallets, belts, and watch straps. Our Teju skins are ethically sourced from Argentina and then rigorously tanned and drum-dyed in the USA. To achieve their vibrant finish, we use a unique glazing method with agate stones, creating an exceptional depth and radiance that highlights the natural beauty of each skin. Our extensive selection of colors of teju lizard leather and other varieties of exotic leather skins is the largest in the USA.

Source: Our Teju skins are sourced from the wild in Argentina with support and quotas set by the Argentinian government for sustainable population management.

Cut: Back Cut, revealing the full belly, the most desirable part of the skin

How to Work with Exotic Leather

Working with exotic leathers follows many of the same techniques as traditional leathercraft, but with a few key considerations. Exotic leathers often benefit from added structure, so we recommend gluing the leather to a layer of bovine leather or another material backing using Intercom Glue or Barge Cement. To add extra strength and to reduce stretch, add a layer of Corazza Reinforcement between the layers. To ensure clean, smooth edges, it's best to glue first before cutting. With the right preparation, exotic leathers can be cut, stitched, and finished just like traditional leather, adding a distinctive touch to any project.

Exotic Leather Grading

All of our Exotic Leathers are grades 1-2, consisting of the highest quality available. Leathers of this grade are generally expected to yield 80-90% of usable surface grain area. Like any full-grain leather hide, there may be natural cuts, marks, wrinkles, or other natural characteristics to the uncorrected-grain of the skin. None of our exotics have brands.

Responsible Sourcing & Trade

All of our Exotic Leathers are sourced and imported following the highest standards. We ensure to meet all the regulations overseen by CITES (The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). CITES is an international body supported in agreement of governments around the world for the responsible and sustainable trade of wild plants and animals to ensure the long-term survival of all species. Visit www.cites.org for more information on CITES standards & guidelines.
