Ostrich Body Leather: Looking Quilled
Featuring a quilled pattern skin, ostrich body leather offers a fun alternative to the usual reptile leathers like alligator, crocodile, lizard, or sea snake.
A popular choice for handbags, ostrich body has slowly gained traction among watch enthusiasts as their choice of leather for watch straps.
The Signature Quill Pattern
The quill follicles, left behind from the bird’s feathers, create a dotted pattern across the hide. This natural texture is not only visually striking but also unique to each piece, meaning no two panels of ostrich body leather are ever exactly the same.
No part of the hide is identical, the density and arrangement of quills vary across the body. Central areas of the hide typically feature more prominent quills, while the edges transition into smoother grain. This variation allows designers to create striking contrasts within a single product.
Why Ostrich Body Leather?
Despite its luxurious softness, ostrich body leather is incredibly tough. The fibrous structure beneath the quills makes it resistant to cracking and long-lasting even with frequent use. This balance of plush flexibility and strength explains why it’s often used in premium bags, wallets, shoes, and watch straps.
