What kind of leather do we use?

Nappa leather

Nappa leather is a supple, soft and smooth type of leather.

This type of leather is usually dyed and made from lamb or sheep skin.

+ Supple, soft material
+ Resistant to damage
+ Sustainable

- sensitive to water stains

Suède

Suede has a luxurious look and is made from the underside of the skin. Suede bags can be recognized by the hairy and soft top layer. Bags made of suede are often supple and feel soft.

+ Luxurious appearance
+ Flexible material

- Stain sensitive
- Less durable compared to a outer layer leather

Nubuck

Nubuck is similar to suede, but is made from the outside of the skin. Suede, on the other hand, is made from the inside of the skin. Nubuck has a luxurious look and feels strong and soft. This is because the material is sanded to give it a soft and velvety appearance. Nubuck has a better quality, because the skin layer feels thicker and firmer than with suede bags.

+ Strong and thick material
+ Luxurious appearance
+ Soft, velvety appearance

- Quite pricey
