Tanneries Haas - Novonappa® - Luxury French Calf Leather (HIDES)

WARNING: This leather is a very unique article and not recommended for beginning leather workers. It is an article used by the luxury brands and will show all its natural characteristics like fat wrinkles, blemishes, discoloration, scratches, etc. Luxury brands understand the yield is lower on this article in exchange for its really special touch. Darker colors may hide the natural characteristics a little bit. The Gold color is the most challenging. Because of this, we do not offer returns or refunds on this article. Please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.

OVERVIEW

Novonappa is probably the most sought after leather in the Haas portfolio. This article was made famous by one of the top luxury brands. The Novonappa we get is is their top grade in production. We at times can get lower grades if you need at a better price, but this listing is for the highest grade.

Novonappa is Vegetable re-tanned and full aniline to give it its structure and that beaufiul buttery touch and finish. It has a nice balance of supple and firm and is great for many different leather projects. The calf has a magic to healing scratches and creates one of the most beautiful patinas over time. The flesh side is finished nicely for showing it off naturally or adding a liner to it. 

While Novonappa is extremely beautiful in its patina, it is important to know that this leather is very naked and does not hide any of the defects associated with a natural leather. Some of the defects you will see on the hide are neck wrinkles, sometimes bites, scars and they can be located anywhere on the hide. Due to this, we recommend the leather being used for small leather goods so you can cut around them. Even the absolute highest grade that luxury brands receive they often will only use a small percentage of the hide. If you are looking for a similar type of leather with some of these defects being covered, the Baranil by Degermann is a semi aniline version and tends to hide these defects better. Again, Novonappa is such a special article but it is important to be aware of its full aniline nature. Here is a link to more info on full aniline leathers and our policy.
