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

Allergic Reactions/Skin Irritation (due to PU/Dyes) | Fabric users/makers (during handling), end-users (skin contact with bag) | 2 | 3 | 6 (Medium) | - Standard textile manufacturing processes. - Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for components (if available). | - Advise users with known sensitivities to test a small area or wear gloves during prolonged handling. - Recommend washing hands after handling if irritation occurs. | 4 (Low) |
| 3. Chemical Exposure (during manufacturing/processing) | Fabric workers/manufacturers | 2 | 3 | 6 (Medium) | - Assumed industrial safety protocols (PPE, ventilation) at manufacturing site. | - This risk is primarily borne by the fabric manufacturer; ensure due diligence on supplier's safety practices if applicable. | 4 (Low) |

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.
I like to use a universal or Microtex size 90 needle. However, this will differ depending on the sewing machine, the thickness and type of thread, and the other fabrics you're sewing with.
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.
