This leather skateboard by Natalia Brilli is made entirely from black lambskin. This chic skateboard has a nice, smooth buttery finish but still works hard at the skate parks.
I love that Natalia Brilli's leather skateboard looks elegant and chic without losing its function. These leather skateboards would look amazing coming down steep ramps.
