Lambskin, as the name implies, is leather derived from the skin of a young sheep. It is soft. It is supple. And it has a silky texture.

Because it's expensive (hence considered luxurious), it's usually reserved for making premium leather goods.

Unlike cowhide, lambskin is not such an easy material to work with. Because it's soft, it doesn't hold shapes well. Hence it's usually used to make fabric-like products such as leather jacket or gloves.

Lambskin wallets are one of those things I hate to love. A lambskin wallet is really comfortable and feels great. But unfortunately the leather looks quite dull. And lambskin's rather high maintenance. It's not as durable as cowhide and it scratches easily. So you'll need to handle with care.

Mont Blanc is one of those luxury brands that uses lambskin quite extensively. Their Platinium line and the newer Eastside line are made of full grain lambskin.
