Default Please Help..

This is my first time in the Gucci forum.
Hope someone is willing to help me with my inquiry..

I bought this wallet in Nov 2006 from the Gucci store during a sale.
I don't use this wallet much so I'm thinking to give it to a friend (not as a gift but just give since I have used it).
But for some reason, I need to confirm the leather of this wallet before I gives this to her. Is this made of pig skin? (cos I know some of Gucci products are made of it)?
Sorry..this is my only Gucci purchase so I don't really know much about Gucci.

Thank you so much in advance!

No, it's not pigskin, pigskin has a lot of pores and bumps in the leather and has a rougher texture. Nice wallet, by the way!

Yeah i do not believe it is pig skin... pig skin is very textured.. it is specially treated to have a kind of grain through it.
