Many customers ask what Nappa Leather<\/b> is so it\u2019s time to strip away the myths about Nappa leathers. <\/h4>\n
<\/div>\n
Nappa leather is full-grain leather, typically dyed, and made from unsplit kidskin, lambskin or sheep skin. It is tanned with salts of chromium or aluminum sulfate, and noted for its softness, stretchiness, flexibility, and durability. It is often used in high-quality leather products such as high-end furniture, wallets, handbags, and most often high quality dress and fashion gloves. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nappa leather should not be confused with cowhide which is thicker, less flexible, and used in heavy-duty work gloves. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Even though Italian leather craftsmen have mastered making and working with Nappa leather, the tanning process which produces Napa leather was invented in 1875 at the Sawyer Tanning Company in Napa, California. <\/div>\n
