Leather Skin - Sheep Italian Soft Nappa Full-Grain (Metallic Colours)

Nappa Full-Grain leather is renowned for its soft feel and durability. Made from natural sheepskin, this product maintains a slight stretch ability and its garment/apparel weight makes it ideal for use in creating fashion leather products such as coats, bags and hats. The grain of the material has been retained (i.e. Full-Grain) so its fibres provide increased strength and breathability. 

PLEASE NOTE the following before ordering:

1. Metallic Foil Finish - Metallic coloured leather is a natural product that has a metallic foil finish on top. Unlike other coloured leather that are normally colour dyed in solutions allowing the colour to soak into the leather, the metallic leather has a 'foil' layer that sits on top of the leather surface. This foil finish can lift off the leather if it is over handled and stretched. We recommend using a protective cloth when working with metallic leathers and it is best to avoid too much handling.

2. Natural Imperfections - Our real leather is a natural product and may come with natural imperfections including marks, holes and varying textures. While we try our best to hand-select items, it is difficult to predict customer preferences so while the same piece is acceptable by one customer (because they intend on cutting it up to make trims), it is not for another (because they require a larger surface area and there is a hole present).

3. Shape of leather - Due to the natural irregularity of the shape of the skin, this product is sold by area only (in square feet) and are not cut or supplied in rectangular sections (like you would expect for fabric materials), therefore you will be sent the skin in its natural irregular shape. Measurements are often taken at the tannery using specialised machines that measure the whole area of the skin including fringe areas (not just actual squares). Depending on the size purchased and availability, you may receive half skins. If you purchase two or more quantities, you may receive full skins with the total area combined.

4. Measurements - Please consider the dimensions of this product very carefully. One square foot (sq. ft.) in area is measured as 1 foot x 1 foot (30cm x 30cm). For example, a skin size of 4sq. ft. does NOT correspond to the dimensions 4 feet x 4 feet (this would result in an area of 16sq. ft., i.e.: 4 x 4). Hence a skin with an area of 4sq. ft. would have the corresponding dimensions of approximately 2 feet x 2 feet, or 1.5 feet x 2.67, which when multiplied, results in 4 square feet. Please refer to the How Leather Skins are measured in Square Feet (Sq. Ft.) image supplied.

5. Shipping - To ship the leather we carefully fold the skins, should you require the leather to be rolled, or if you have any particular request please let our staff know when ordering and we will do our best to meet your requirements. Additional postage charges may apply. Thank you for your understanding.
