hi guys, I purchased a wallet(115046) recentlly. It is said that the wallet has leather trim/interior. But I feel that the material is not as soft as other leather (in fact, it is hard). who know about detail category of the leather(pig skin/cow skin etc.) or any detail information? as more detailed as better.Thanks very much.

All types of leather/processes make leather feel different. Is it very shiny? Yes - then it's probably box leather. It's actually one of the most prestigious leathers and it will get softer with age.

Fort more on Box leather do a search on Hermes Forum - they have thread outlining the properties, pros and cons of H different types of leather. Box is a standard of many high quality brands and is often used in structured bags and belts.
