katia | washable kraft paper | vegan leather | coconut

Washable Kraft Paper by Katia is your "vegan leather" with a paper look – a washable paper fabric made of cellulose and latex with a cool, slightly crumpled appearance. It feels like a mix of sturdy paper and thin leather and develops that typical, casual used effect over time.

You can use it to sew lunch bags, bread bags, cosmetic and toiletry bags, wallets, cases, project pouches, label patches, tablet/laptop sleeves, or decorative covers for flower pots. In combination with canvas, recycled canvas, or cotton, you can create super light, stable, and very modern accessories – ideal for anyone who likes the "paper look" but wants something durable.

The fabric is quite stable but can be easily sewn with a universal needle 90/100 – similar to thin imitation leather. You can wash it once before processing or knead it to achieve a softer, more crumpled look; for clearer, "cleaner" edges, process it in its unwashed state.
