napa

Soft goatskin material

Napa is soft, full-grain leather, typically from lamb or kid, prized for its supple texture in gloves, handbags, and upholstery: napa leather seats.

The term comes from Napa, California, where this tanning method was developed. (Capitalized Napa usually refers to the California wine region.)
