Sourcing Alacantra material...
So after installing my alacantra pieces I had some further install ideas for alacantra and I am curious if anyone knows where you can source alacantra material?
Thanks any help is needed.

No offense, but that's an exorbitant markup to an already high price. You're asking 50% more than the average Alcantara dealer.

You won't find Alcantara for any less than $100/yard unless they're having some sort of special.
