Napa leather is the softest commercial grade of full-grain leather, named after Napa, California where chrome tanning of sheepskin was first developed. This guide explains the four grades — full-grain, top-grain, corrected-grain, and bonded — how they differ, how to care for each, and why ETRNLY uses only full-grain Napa for every footwear upper and outerwear panel.
