Do you know ‘Nappa’ leather and what it meant? Today here we explore about Nappa leather handbag maintenance.
ABOUT NAPPA LEATHER
Nappa Leather is named after its place of discovery, Napa in California USA. Sawyer Tanning Company employee Emanuel Manasse, coined the term Nappa Leather in 1875.
Nappa leather is a general term used to refer to leather which is soft, smooth and chrome tanned, but it doesn’t actually have any distinctive characteristics in order to be specifically identified as Nappa leather. So it can have a natural grain or corrected grain and made from kid, cow, calf, lamb or even a different skin!
Nappa leather is generally a leather which feels very soft to the touch, but overall the definition of what Nappa leather is, is ambiguous.
Nappa is used for a range of items such as, handbags, gloves, coats, wallets, shoes and car interiors.
