Nubuck Leather: An Elegant and Velvety Material for Luxurious Handbags
Nubuck leather is a premium and exceptionally soft material often used in the production of high-quality handbags. It is made from napa cowhide leather, with the surface treated to create a velvety texture. This process not only gives the leather a pleasant feel but also a sophisticated, color-shifting appearance that makes nubuck leather handbags a luxurious accessory.
Advantages of Nubuck Leather in Handbag Manufacturing
1. Velvety Surface: Nubuck leather is characterized by its soft, velvety texture. This unique surface structure gives handbags an exclusive and elegant look, which feels particularly refined to the touch.
2. Unique Design: Since nubuck leather is derived from napa leather, which has natural irregularities like scars or small imperfections, every bag becomes a one-of-a-kind piece. These individual characteristics give the leather personality and tell a story.
3. Breathability and Lightness: Thanks to its mechanical buffing, nubuck leather remains breathable, which is also true for our napa leather, making the handbags especially comfortable to carry. Additionally, the material is relatively lightweight, further enhancing carrying comfort.
4. Color-Changing Appearance: The buffed surface of nubuck leather reflects light in a unique way, causing the leather to subtly change color depending on the lighting, giving it a lively appearance.
5. European Quality Tanning: Our nubuck leather is tanned near Verona according to the highest EU standards in closed-loop systems. This ensures not only top quality but also environmentally friendly and sustainable production.
Caring for Nubuck Leather
Due to its open, buffed surface, nubuck leather is more delicate than other types of leather, requiring special care. A few simple steps can help preserve the velvety look and longevity of your nubuck leather handbag:
1. Waterproofing for Weather Protection: Our nubuck leather is impregnated during the tanning process to protect it from the elements. However, this waterproofing should be refreshed after some time to continue protecting the leather from moisture and dirt.
2. Care with Colorless Specialty Spray: To maintain the beauty and protection of the leather, it is recommended to occasionally use a colorless specialty spray for nubuck leather. This spray ensures that the leather is not only protected from external influences but also retains its velvety feel.
3. Avoid Leather Fats: Regular leather fat should not be used on nubuck leather, as it can clog the leather’s pores and make the surface smooth and shiny. This would ruin the unique velvety texture and permanently turn the nubuck leather into regular napa leather.
4. Regular Cleaning: Stains should be gently removed with a special nubuck leather brush or a dry cloth. It is advisable to avoid water or harsh cleaning agents to prevent damage to the surface.
