Napa Leather

Nappa leather is a very soft and durable type of leather, usually made from lamb or sheep and which can be found in high-end furniture, german luxury cars, expensive wallets - and in our amazing gothic coats, like the Saint Inferno and Harbringer, or our women's leather coat Murderdoll. We have chosen this fabric because it will last you a long time and guarantee the best wearing comfort you can wish for.

Cleaning tipp: Leather coats made from nappa will look new like the first day if treated well, so while it is a quite resistent fabric, if you wear it outdoors during winter, you should take care to brush of any rests of salt used to free the roads from ice and which might have come into contact with your coat. Salt can bleach out the original black dye of your coat, but brushing it off will prevent that from happening. Cleaning is easy, just brush your coat with a soft clothing brush and soap.
