What type of leather does 'Les Gazelles' use?

by Debbie

I am trying to find leather to string and knot pearls like the type that is used by Les Gazelles--they have a website and make GORGEOUS leather/tahitian jewelry.


It looks rolled and almost 'waxy'. It is a chocolate color and they recommend treating it occasionally with shea butter.

Do you know what it is? And can you recommend a seller? THANKS!
