The Minerva Core Range Textured Faux Leather is a high-quality, durable synthetic material designed for makers and crafters who need the aesthetic appeal of leather with the convenience of a textile. Ideal for bag making, structured garment construction, and upholstery projects, this 450 GSM fabric offers exceptional resilience and a premium look. While it provides excellent structure, users should note that as a faux material, it does not breathe like natural hides, making it best suited for outer layers or non-garment accessories.

Do not iron directly on the surface. If needed, press from the back side using a low heat setting and a pressing cloth.
Yes, its heavy weight and wipe-clean nature make it excellent for light-to-medium upholstery projects.
A denim or leather needle in sizes 90/14 or 100/16 is typically recommended for this 450 GSM material.
No, because it is a faux leather textile, it does not fray, which makes it perfect for raw-edge designs.
No, machine washing is not recommended. Wipe-cleaning is the safest and most effective way to clean this material.
Switch to a specialized leather needle and increase your stitch length.
Use a Teflon or roller presser foot to allow the fabric to glide smoothly under the needle.
Lay the fabric flat in a warm room or apply very gentle, indirect heat from a hair dryer to relax the fibers.
When working with Minerva Core Range Faux Leather, use a high-quality polyester thread to ensure strong seams. A stitch length of 3mm to 4mm is recommended to prevent perforating the fabric too closely, which can weaken the seam. For care, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust or stains. Avoid using harsh solvents or high-heat irons, as these can damage the texture or melt the synthetic base. Store the fabric rolled rather than folded to prevent permanent creases.
