② Inner lambskin liner color
The liner is always soft lambskin leather — a separate, finer leather stitched to the inside of your front and back cover flaps. As seen in the photo above, it can be a completely different color from your cover for a stunning two-tone effect. Square swatches = liner so you never confuse it with your cover selection above.
Liner color — lambskin (square swatches · independent from cover)

A contrasting liner is a stunning detail that surprises you every time you open your Bible. Many customers coordinate their liner with one of their ribbon colors.
