Yes. All Summit & Selva products use genuine exotic leather, never embossed or synthetic. We work with responsible, small-batch suppliers and artisan workshops in Bolivia who follow ethical sourcing practices and CITES compliance where required.

• Flank: Soft, flexible, organically patterned scales — ideal for wallets, cardholders, folios, and accessories.
• Tail: Structural, evenly shaped rectangular scales — perfect for belts, straps, shell pouches, and watch cases.
• Each has a different look and durability profile, and no two hides are ever identical.
  

Paiche is a large Amazonian fish whose hide creates a lightweight, flexible leather with a distinctive overlapping scale pattern. It is sustainably sourced, as paiche hides are a byproduct of managed fishing and food systems in Amazon communities.

Absolutely. We offer custom orders for belts, folios, watch rolls, shotgun shell pouches, wallets, and DIY leather strips.
Provide your sizing, project details, and preferred leather type. Our artisans will handcraft your piece.
