Industry Reviews
How's this for a combo of mediums? Kraft-Tex is a paper product that washes, cuts, and sews like fabric, but looks and feels like leather as it softens and wears. This means it's easy (and animal-friendly!) to make leather-like projects. In black, white, and natural.-- "Burda Style"
Okay, this stuff is clearly something directly out of the Harry Potter world. Kraft-Tex is paper that looks and feels like leather, but is as sewable--and washable--as fabric. It's so durable, you can make book covers and wallets and shoes with it, and it will just get softer the more you use it. You can draw or paint on it, and even run it through your inkjet printer. Next they'll tell us you can make a Marauder's Map with it. Mischief managed.-- "Generation Q Magazine"
