About this material
A clean, confident crimson — a true red with a slightly cool, cherry-leaning cast rather than an orange tomato red — on COMO's smooth, fine-grained surface. In daylight it reads bright and saturated; under warm indoor light it deepens towards cherry. Low sheen, so it photographs without glare.
Best for: wallets, cardholders and clutches that want a hit of colour, bag linings and interior pockets, personalised passport and notebook covers, Cricut-cut keyrings and earrings that need to hold their shape. Pairs with black, cream and tan, gold or black hardware, and a cream or black contrast stitch.
The material: COMO is a 0.8 mm polyurethane (PU) vegan leather with a soft brushed textile backing, cut to order from a 140 cm-wide roll in 20, 30 or 50 cm lengths. The smooth face takes hot-foil, blind embossing, laser engraving, UV and screen printing, folds cleanly for turned edges and wipes clean with a damp cloth. PETA-Approved Vegan, cut in Lombardy, Italy.
Reds are the hardest colour to judge on a screen — order a swatch first and check it in your own light.
Working with COMO
Can I cut COMO on a Cricut or with dies?
Yes. At 0.8 mm COMO cuts cleanly with the deep-point or knife blade on a strong-grip mat — mirror the design and cut face down so the smooth surface stays unmarked. It also die-cuts and punches without fraying, which is why makers use it for earrings, keyrings and tags that need to hold their shape.
Can I emboss, foil-stamp or engrave COMO?
That is what the smooth face is for: hot-foil, blind embossing, laser engraving, UV and screen printing all take well on COMO, which makes it a favourite for personalised wallets, passport covers and notebook covers. Test settings on an offcut first — every machine runs a little differently.
Does COMO crack or peel when folded or stitched?
No — the soft brushed textile backing lets COMO fold for turned edges and gussets without the surface cracking, and stitches hold without tearing out. For a razor-sharp fold, score the backing lightly rather than the face. Like any PU, store it rolled, not creased.
