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.

Mill

This tannery based in the UK offers C02 neutral, chrome-free skins (such as Original) without sacrificing quality. They also practice regenerative farming, a method of rotating specific crops and cattle to build up soil levels, fix carbon, restore biodiversity and reduce the amount of artificial chemicals / fertilizers required in farming. Zoelitic - or biodegradeable tannages are also being tested for further improving sustainability techniques.
