*PLEASE READ* colours show differently on different screens and look different in varying light. These photos are the closest representation we could get to the in life colours. If you require an exact colour, we recommend you visit us in store so you can see the fabric in person. Or you can purchase a colour sample pack here. Photos may include finished bags or other items for illustrative purposes only. This listing is just for Mora faux leather.
Usable width: 140cm.
Mora is the brand name for this faux leather, as determined by the manufacturer. It has a cotton backing and feels very soft and supple to touch. With very little shine, and a speckled appearance, it looks beautiful and will give your handmade bag a really high end look. There is a slight two-way stretch running across the width (selvage to selvage).
Made in China.
Customers in the EU can purchase this faux leather from Serial Bag Makers in Belguim or Made by Lullan in Sweden

Overall Risk Conclusion:
The faux leather fabric, when used as intended for bag making, presents a generally medium to low risk. The primary areas of concern are the flammability and potential for allergic reactions, which are mitigated by clear labeling and recommended handling practices. The explicit exclusion for children's clothing significantly reduces risks associated with that application.
Recommendations:
- Prominent Warning Labels: Ensure clear and prominent labeling on the fabric itself, its packaging, and any product descriptions stating:
- "WARNING: NOT FLAME RETARDANT - Keep Away from Open Flame or High Heat"
- "NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN'S CLOTHING"
- "Intended for Bag Making and Upholstery Projects Only" (or similar phrasing for bag making specifically).
- Safety Data Sheets (SDS): If possible, obtain and review the SDS for the polyurethane and any dyes/finishes used in the fabric production.
- User Guidance: Provide guidance to users/makers on:
- Safe cutting practices.
- Care instructions for the finished bags.
- Advice for individuals with sensitive skin.
- Proper disposal of fabric scraps.
This risk assessment is a living document and should be reviewed periodically or if there are any changes to the fabric composition, intended use, or relevant regulations.
CLEANING: We do not recommend washing this fabric in a machine as standard detergents will reduce it's waterproof coating. Do not tumble dry. If you spill something on the fabric, it will run right off. Simply rinse with water to remove any excess, then hang it to drip dry. If you need to clean the fabric further, spot clean with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Test on an offcut or out of sight area first.
UV: This fabric has not been tested for high UV exposure so we don't recommend it for items that will be permanently outdoors (such as garden cushions), as we can't guarantee the colours won't fade.
IRONING: If you want to iron this fabric or fuse interfacing to it, use a medium heat with no steam and iron from the back of the fabric. Test on an offcut first to ensure your iron settings won't damage the fabric.

To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase. The simplest way to provide this is to reply to the original order confirmation email. To qualify for a refund, your products must be returned unused and in a re-saleable condition. Once we’ve inspected the returned items, we’ll refund you within 14 days. The refund will be processed to the same payment source used for purchase. In certain circumstances, we will only grant a partial refund. This includes where any item is not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error, or any item that is returned more than 30 days after delivery.
When you cancel or return your order, we incur costs that are not refunded to us such as payment processing fees and postage costs.

If you believe an item is missing, please check the packaging thoroughly and unpack your entire order. We like to do our bit to help the planet and that means reducing packaging and space. To achieve this, we often roll items within each other. For example, if you’ve ordered 2 x 1 metre cuts of zip tape and 1 metre of webbing, we’ll roll them together in one bag.
