Tannery Haas calf hides, including Novonappa & Zermatt, trusted by premium brands and artisans

Founded in 1842 in Alsace, France, Tanneries Haas has built a legacy of producing premium-quality calf leather. Clients from the world’s top fashion brands rely on their exceptional materials for creating luxury items. Notable highlights include their famous Novonappa and Zermatt leathers, known for their rich textures and versatility.

Haas selects only the finest calf hides to ensure consistency in quality. Both Novonappa and Zermatt calf leathers possess a smooth grain, supple feel, and remarkable resilience, making them staples in high-end craftsmanship. Ideal for handbags, belts, shoes, and small leather accessories, these materials develop a stunning patina that enhances their beauty over time.

What is Novonappa and why is it favored for luxury leather goods?

Novonappa is an iconic leather developed by Tanneries Haas, celebrated for its unique properties and luxurious finish. This double-tanned calf leather combines the benefits of chrome tanning and vegetable tanning, resulting in a perfect balance of strength, flexibility, and a natural matte appearance.

Here’s what sets Novonappa apart:

  • Naturally soft and rich texture for a premium feel
  • Resistant to moisture, with added durability
  • Scratch-sensitive surface that develops a sophisticated patina
  • Perfect for crafting elegant handbags, footwear, and accessories

Its open structure allows the leather to ‘breathe,’ enhancing its natural character over time. It’s these characteristics that make Novonappa a favorite among luxury artisans.
