Lately ‘caviar leather’ pops out the net more and more. Mainly responsible for that seems to be Chanel with its uncountable handbag collections. But just to make sure: the caviar leather does not derive from sturgeons and neither from its ‘cousin’, the paddlefish. It is the dried skin of a stingray. Probably coming from a thai stingray farm (yes, they do that).
