Finish - Matt type
Ostrich skin is a special skin that is used exclusively for the finest productions, along with crocodile skin in most brands.

A price of each ostrich skin costs about the same as a crocodile skin. Of course, it is very large compared to the crocodile, but the quill mark is actually very narrow.
Apart from the price, there is also a great difficulty in workability. The tricky thing about ostrich leather is to adjust the thickness first. In general, in order to produce small items, the thickness of each part is adjusted in various ways to suit the needs-In the case of ostrich leather, this is a leather that requires considerable technical proficiency and experience because of the difference in thickness of quill mark .

Nile crocodile is considered one of the finest crocodile skins along with the sea crocodile Porosus and the American Alligator.
In the case of glossy type crocodile leather, the light disappears if it is not managed while using it, whereas the matte type crocodile leather has the charm that natural light comes up nicely while using it and ages over time. The matte type with less surface treatment process is more expensive because it uses better hides than the glossy type.
If you meet the work of Arte di mano, which combines the finest crocodile leather manufactured by Henglong, and the refined Arte di mano's hand-crafted technology recognized in the world market, I am sure that you will not be able to meet any more materials and quality.

Novonappa
(Hybrid tanned, France - HAAS)
Extra cost : USD 20.00
Finish - Matt type, Oil and waxy / Thickness - 2.0 ~ 2.2 mm / Softness - ★★★★☆
Novonappa leather is a hybrid type of leather with a vegetable finish on the surface of chrome-tanned leather.
Because it is chrome tanned, it is lighter than vegetable leather products, but the texture of the surface is like vegetable tanned leather, and the surface of the leather naturally ages according to use. In addition, the texture of the surface is very soft and moist due to the sufficiently absorbed wax and oil content. This is another kind of texture that can be found in the hybrid type, which is different from the vegetable type. Like Bridle, when not used often, the wax component inside the leather cuts off the surface to form a white powdery film, and when used again, the wax component melts again and penetrates to restore the original surface texture. This is the original leather of HAAS, France, which is a supplier of High-end luxury brands, and is used by the brand to create vegetable-looking tan or black products.
