Why choose goatskin? Goat parchment is sturdier than calf or sheep, making it ideal for applications requiring durability, such as bookbinding, large format printing, and furniture like lampshades and chairs. With its prominent grain and a range of colors from warm cream and stark white to grays and blacks, goatskin offers both resilience and aesthetic versatility.
