Caviar Question

[KittyKat65]

I tried a search and came up blank, so my question is how is the Caviar leather made? What process is involved? Anybody know?

It is the dried skin of a stingray.

...their Caviar leather is a full grain aniline dyed leather that has been embossed with a circular imprint and is then burnished to bring out the depth of color. This beautiful texture and subtle sheen give Caviar its luxurious finish.

Stingray? Really? Wow!

Thanks!

^Hmm, I'm certain caviar is just pebbled calfskin... this has been asked numerous times and that's the general consensus.

It's definitely NOT stingray - that looks and feels entirely different.

It's "just" pebbled calfskin, as Minal says ^^^

caviar = calfskin. How they get it pebbled? No idea, but it's FOR SURE calf.
