The Capybara is not endangered however Argentina strictly regulates the harvesting and exporting of these animal hide byproducts. Every product must be certified and proven as ‘farm raised’ and only then can a Capybara product or hide be processed through to the next phase of its transport. In fact, Argentina is the only manufacturing exporter in the world of Capybara products. The spots on the Carpincho leather are natural hair follicles and any hide scars are part of the animal’s history of growth. All hides have these characteristics. It is best to remember animal hides and skins are made by nature, meaning they are not perfect, each one being unique. If you are looking for a flawless leather, hide or skin, you will need to look for a man-made (machine made) or simulated product. Wallet Color: Red/Ruby Condition: Great!
