- 100% lamb leather (Italy). Finishing in Italy.
Genuine Nappa is a chrome-tanned leather known for its distinctly smooth and supple softness. It is named after its origins in Napa Valley, California, where its tanning process was first developed in 1875. Like other full-grain leathers, its natural texture and marks show on the surface; for this reason, only better quality hides are used.
This family-owned Italian factory has been operated by 3 brothers since 1989. They produce luxury leather products and carefully select tanneries to ensure highest quality. With value for craftsmanship and community, they offer an apprentice program for workers aged 18-27; the program improves their workforce, creates economic opportunity, and preserves craft expertise. In March 2020, the factory installed solar panels and moved its operations closer to a wastewater recycling facility. They abide by the following compliances: SA8000 Standard - Certified and the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).
