Eel is fished in the waters of the South Pacific. Eel skin is a by-product of the meat. Pan American Leathers (PAL) offers finished eel skin panels, comprised of dozens of individual eel skins joined together seamlessly by master craftsmen. The eel skin panels measure approximately 2 feet x 5 feet or 10 square feet, and we stock over 30 colors which you can order online or buy out of our NYC showroom. Eel skin is extremely soft and pliable (0.3-0.5 mm thickness), best used for unstructured handbags, garments and interiors projects. Please call, email or schedule an appointment for any questions you might have.
