Stretch Nappa
For years Pellican has been a benchmark for Made in Italy fashion houses and leather goods makers.
Why choose Stretch Nappa
Craftsmanship and technique
We specialise in the production of stretch nappa leather, also known as stretch lambskin: a full-grain lambskin nappa bonded to a cotton or lycra backing, combining the softness and strength of premium leather with the elasticity of the fabric.
The backing comes in different weights, with the stretch usually running horizontally: the stretch leather follows the movement of the body while keeping the hand and natural look of nappa.
Stretch nappa is a refined and unique material: light, soft, delicate to the touch, comfortable to wear and with a distinctly natural effect that adapts perfectly to the shape of the body.
It is chrome-tanned and available in every skin size, with samples in 2 weeks for brands and manufacturers developing collections of footwear and apparel in elastic leather.
Ideal for the production of footwear, such as ankle boots or over-the-knee boots, and leather apparel, such as trousers, jackets or dresses.
Stretch leather for footwear and apparel
Stretch leather for footwear
Ankle boots and over-the-knee boots that need to hug the leg: stretch nappa follows the movement of foot and calf while keeping the natural look of lambskin.
Stretch leather for apparel
Leather trousers, jackets and dresses that fit the body comfortably: the cotton or lycra backing adds elasticity without taking softness away from the nappa.
