Frequently Asked Questions

What defines the Women's Nappa collection?

Nappa is the technical name for soft lambskin tanned for fine leatherwork. The Women's Nappa collection covers the full catalogue of cuts, from short wrist-length casual pairs to opera-length formal styles, driving cuts and couture pieces. All hand-stitched in Naples since 1930.

How is nappa different from suede or deerskin?

Nappa lambskin has a smooth refined surface, the most polished of all our leathers. Suede is the same lambskin brushed on the surface, giving a matte velvet feel. Deerskin is a different animal: tougher, more breathable, ages with patina. Nappa sits at the formal end; suede and deerskin go casual.

Are nappa gloves warm enough for cold weather?

Yes, when paired with the right lining. Cashmere offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio: lighter than wool with comparable insulation. For temperatures below zero, look for full-cashmere lining options. Silk lining is for transitional weather and indoor use.

Can nappa gloves be used for driving?

Yes. Specific driving models exist, including unlined ones for direct contact with the steering wheel. See also Women's Driving.

How do I care for nappa leather gloves?

Avoid prolonged contact with water; if they get wet, blot dry with a soft cloth and let them air-dry away from heat sources. Store flat in a cool dry place. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner once or twice per season. Never use heat (radiator, hairdryer) to dry.

What size should I order?

Measure the circumference of your dominant hand at the knuckles. View the women's size guide for the full method and Italian/US conversion table. Sizes run from 6 to 8.5 in half-size increments. If between sizes, choose the larger; nappa stretches and shapes to the hand within the first few wears.

Women's Nappa Leather Gloves

The everyday leather

The Women's Nappa collection is one of the largest and most versatile in the catalogue: from casual to opera-length, driving to couture. All pairs are built around the same core material, lambskin, also called nappa, the leather that defines what a fine glove feels like.

Lambskin as a craft choice: nappa is selected for the softness it brings against the hand and the structure it keeps after years of wear. Cut by hand from a single piece, hand-stitched in Naples since 1930, each pair takes shape around the wearer's hand within the first weeks of use.

Lining as the second decision: cashmere for the best warmth-to-weight ratio, silk for milder climates and a thinner profile, occasional unlined options for driving. The lining is what touches the skin and is treated as a separate craft choice.

Where this collection sits: if you're new to leather gloves, this is the entry point. If you're building a glove wardrobe, this is the workhorse. The other materials in the catalogue (suede, carpincho, peccary, statement lambskin) are alternatives for specific moods or use cases; nappa is the default that fits all of them.
