NANAI
exclusive leather from Germany
nanai is an innovative firm and the sole German producer of nanai leather. Years of research culminated in the best possible standard for processing salmon skins. Formerly a waste product of fish canneries, nanai has developed an eco-friendly process to tan and dye the skins.
nanai leather now undergoes a totally new, environment-friendly, multi-stage process. Years of research and highly advanced technologies help retain the unique texture of the skin. nanai has mastered this balancing act by using organic tanning methods to achieve excellent properties for the end product.
The cornerstones for producing nanai leather are sustainability, plus an eco-friendly approach and processing. nanai is the only producer of salmon skins worldwide with a chrome-free process, relying instead on vegetable tanning. In fact, when selecting the skins the only salmon considered are from aquaculture farms known to breed the species appropriately, such as certified organic salmon farms in Ireland.
Consumers can surround themselves with nanai leather without feeling guilty, because this is a waste product of fish canneries and not from fish bred solely for their skin. nanai leather is a true alternative to exotic leathers from rays, snakes, ostriches, alligators, etc. Hence, the question of endangered species does not even arise in the case of salmon skins. This leather has a truly new feel, which emerges from not just the sensory perception it imparts, but also from the awareness that one can feel good about wearing this hypoallergenic and nontoxic material directly on the skin.
nanai leather has been inspected and tested thoroughly, and rated especially hypoallergenic because of its vegetable tanning process. It fulfills all significant standards, guidelines, and material requirements. Compared with conventional leathers of equivalent thickness, it is superior in terms of its fading resistance, rubbing abrasion, and color fastness.
It is multi-purpose and ideal for a broad range of merchandise and applications. These include luxury purses, accessories like shoes, jewelry, exquisite pieces of furniture, or even decorative wallpapers for buildings, yachts, cars, or airplanes. There are no limits to the creativity of designers or this material’s numerous applications.
The fashion label mongrels in common used the unique nanai leather for its Spring/Summer 2010 collection and also using it for the new Autumn/Winter 2010/11 collection. The Spanish label El Caballo and other international designers have produced the first samples out of this extraordinary leather. Pollini, one of Italy’s most famous producer of high quality leather bags and shoes and Ludwig Reiter will use the nanai leather for the next collection.
