The product

The most exclusive selection

Plongé Nappa is the most exclusive article in the nappa family: a plongé lambskin that stands above the rest for hand, touch and softness, with a confident character and deep colour rendering.

It comes from an extreme selection: only around 10% of first-choice skins become plongé. It is a French plongé lambskin: the French origin of the raw hide guarantees a high and consistent quality standard, an essential condition for luxury brands that demand impeccable surfaces.

We chrome-tan it and work it to bring out the natural softness of lambskin: the result is a soft, full nappa leather with a silky touch.

It finds natural application in high-end apparel, footwear and leather goods, where the quality of the leather is an integral part of the perceived value of the finished product.

A versatile and refined leather, ideal for outerwear, bags and footwear where hand and durability are equally important.
