I have a leather question! I bought some gorgeous Tearose embellished dusty rose gloves online (NWT $48.50) and they are described as "Sheep Leather" but they are very soft and I was guessing "Lamb Nappa" - and they do come from the same kind of animal. Are they basically the same thing? Or do they only use adult sheep to make Sheep Leather? Is lamb nappa considered more valuable or about the same?
Here is the Coach listing on the Wayback Machine and a photo of the product tag inside the glove, thanks!

@katev posted these cute gloves.Those are pretty! I stopped buying Coach gloves when they stopped lining them with cashmere. Sheep could be from an adult rather than a lamb.
