Tanneries Haas 🇫🇷 – Novonappa® – Luxury French Calfskin Leather (SAMPLES) Tanneries Haas (France)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

Novonappa® Leather comes from Tannery Haas in France. Haas has been making leather since 1842 and is well known for their luxury calfskin leathers.

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 combination tanned to give it a nice feel and beautiful color. 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 Degerman 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.
