Young Brunette Girl Strips Her Black Petticoat On The Calfskin At The Window With String Curtains

Calfskin is a leather or membrane produced from the hide of a calf. Calfskin is particularly valuable because of its softness, and non fine grain. It is commonly used for high-quality shoes, wallets and similar products, as well as traditional leather bookbindings. In Spanish, the word is "Novillo", referring to leather from animals less than three years old.
In fashion, soft finished calfskin is sometimes described as veau velours (French for "velvet calf").
Fine calfskin is one of the skins used for vellum and parchment manuscripts.
