Types of finishes according to the composition of the Leather.
Recently we talked in our blog about the leather parts according to their composition and structure, where at the level of composition we found the following parts.

Footwear is born from any of these three sections, your choice is based on the capabilities of the producer and the needs of the customer.
From these three types of leather are derived others that are born from treatments that give them specific finishes, but not all can be applied to any of the group, ie there are some ideal only for each type, which we will study below.
Finishes for Whole Flower.
·Napa.
It is a type of leather tanned chrome as main feature, even when before it should have come from lamb or sheep today can even be beef. It is very soft to the touch and bright colors.
·Fatty.
Its finish is obtained thanks to the application of oils and waxes, which makes it very flexible and resistant, especially to water.
·Laced.
The skin is subjected to a purely vegetable tanning process and the appearance results in an open pore texture that extends throughout the entire piece.
·Softy.
It is one of the softest skins that can be found especially used in the manufacture of sports shoes.
