Nile Croco Montecristo is a dramatic, two-tone crocodile embossed leather hide, featuring a sophisticated interplay of warm brown and cool silver tones. Designed to mimic the dimensional texture of exotic skin, each hide is pressed with a deep, detailed croco pattern, perfect for high-end interiors, bold accent pieces, and refined custom furnishings.

Crafted in our Patagonia workshop using vegetable-tanned, chrome-free processes, Montecristo brings luxury and sustainability together. The metallic and matte areas interact beautifully under light, adding depth and nuance to walls, panels, or designer upholstery applications.

This hide is ideal for designers who seek a statement leather with ethical roots and modern impact.
