Leather for handbags

For a bag the criterion is minimum thickness: 1.0 mm and up. Below that the panel will not hold, the opening collapses and the handle stretches with use.

Why 1.0 mm is the threshold

1.0–1.2 mm — soft bag, unstructured tote, lined shopper. Good drape, low weight.
1.1–1.4 mm — structured bag, crossbody, body that holds its own shape, handles cut from the same hide.
Large hides (12–16 sqft) — essential: a tote panel or a handle strap will not come out of a 4–6 sqft skin without splicing.
