What is nappa?

0

We have seen many websites misleading customers by advertising their garments as being made from ‘nappa’ leather, when it is clear that they are not. Quite simply, nappa is leather that comes from either sheep / lamb or goat / kid. It is NOT cowhide (see question 3 below). As such, it tends to be softer than many cowhides, which makes it quite desirable. Consequently, the term is frequently misused in order to make low quality garments seem to be of a higher quality.
