Nappa calfskin

13 products

Discover our selection of pre-cut nappa calf leather pieces. This full-grain leather comes from the outer layer of the skin, where the quality is highest. It is a reference material for major luxury brands, appreciated as much for its high-end aesthetic appeal as for its qualities: nappa leather is naturally supple, thin, with a silky feel and subtle shine.

The thinness of nappa makes it easy to cut and sew by hand or machine. It is suitable for anyone who wants to work with a noble and luxurious material.

The term "nappa" gets its name from the Napa Valley in California where this type of leather was developed.

What size to choose depending on your project?

Deco Cuir offers nappa calf leather in whole hides and pieces.

The pieces are cut into fixed-dimension rectangles. They allow you to order exactly the surface area you need, without generating large scraps. It's also an excellent way to test the leather before committing to purchasing a larger hide.

15 x 20 cm: small format ideal for small accessories, bracelets, earrings, keychains, decorative patches...
20 x 30 cm: intermediate format for coin purses, card holders, phone cases...
30 x 40 cm: larger format for pouches, clutches, gusseted coin purses, notebook covers...

Nappa calf leather hides, on the other hand, are sold individually according to their natural surface area. Each hide is unique and the shape varies from one hide to another.

NAPPA calf leather pieces in a continuous range

Deco Cuir offers a continuous range of NAPPA calf leather, available in hides and pieces. This is a permanent collection, recognizable by its "continuous range" label.

The leather pieces are available in two thin thicknesses:

1 mm: this is the original thickness of the leather, it retains all the structure and hold of the leather hide.
0.5 mm: the leather is split and thinned, making it ideal if you need to sew several layers of leather together or if your creation requires very thin leather.
