Italian Sheepskin: Softness and Versatility for Leather Masterpieces
Sheepskins, originating from lambs, sheep, and rams, are renowned for their softness, fluffiness, and elasticity, making them perfect for clothing and leather accessories. They feature a smooth grain, with slightly visible hair follicles distributed evenly. A special type of sheepskin is that of crossbreeds, characterized by a denser fiber that makes them mechanically stronger, suitable for the production of uppers and leather goods.
The sturdiest rams can be split, and their crust is treated with oil and suede, while the thinner grain is used in the making of clothing items such as leather jackets, as linings or exteriors for leather accessories, and also as inner lining for footwear and bindings.
This sheepskin production is entirely Made in Italy, encompassing lambs, sheep, and rams, and is ideal for creating a wide range of items such as bags, clutches, wallets, linings, and shoes for both men and women.
Sheepskin, a premium natural material, offers the opportunity to create exclusive pieces of unparalleled beauty. Soft and elastic, with a smooth and delicate grain, these skins are mainly suitable for clothing, divided into the categories of ram and lamb. The versatility of ram skin makes it suitable for both footwear and leather goods, thanks to the various processing techniques developed over time.
In addition to the intrinsic characteristics of the skin, it is important to consider the production process of lamb skin. Depilation of the skins during the wet phase, prior to tanning and dyeing, produces the classic nappa. If, instead, one wishes to retain the animal’s fur, obtaining the so-called Shearling, depilation is not performed.
Sheep breeds vary widely, influencing the characteristics and quality of the skins. From the finest skins of “hair sheep” to the more pronounced roughness of wool breeds, diversity is evident in both appearance and texture, offering a wide range of options for the production of high-quality items.
