Black Leather VS Black NAPPA Leather

[xsi123]

What is the difference? What Nappa Leather gives you that the standard Leather doesn't?

It's softer - more "buttery". It'll likely not last as long as well. Great choice for those who lease.

It's a different, finer grade leather, from hand massaged, corn fed steers that have been confined in padded stalls so nothing mars the hides. :D Well, the first part is true anyway.:rofl:

djfitter describes it right. Just got Nappa Black with Anthracite headliner and feel it is a huge difference. Glad I got it.

Some people think it actually lasts longer, especially if you maintain it with leather cleaner/ conditioner. I had it in my M5, and looked great after 10+ years. Feels much better for sure!

Actually, Nappa leather is made from the hides of Nappas, which are
fast becoming an endangered species. The same thing happened to
the Naugas (Naugahydes)--very sad. :-(

Nappa leather or Napa leather is a full-grain leather, typically dyed, made from unsplit young or baby lambskin or sheep-skin and noted for softness and durability. It is often used in high-quality leather products such as high-end furniture and accessories such as wallets and luggage.
