Came across something called 'Reversed Pig Grain' leather. Any ideas what is it? Google have not been of much help.

Hi mate,
Deep search on google and I found "This", apparently it's a treatment of pig leather for improve his resistance.
For example : used to make handling gloves. :rolleyes:

hmmm.....Many Thanks. Looks French though :)

I have seen a few bags made of this material at a leading & well-known fashion store. Am amazed; the tag clearly shows the contituents. Isn't such stuff prohibited? :whistle:

I guess that the customs read "Big leather" so it was ok for them, "No Broblem" letting "the goods made using one big piece of reverse leather" go in! :rolleyes:

It's okay.. as long as nobody eats the bag :lol:

It's not about eating only Allie, everything related (products/byproducts whateva) falls under the same.

I left many mates amazed today breaking this news.

hummmmmmmmmmmmm.. I was joking.  Didn't really expect anybody to eat a handbag. Or even lick one, for that matter ;)

:lol: I've been offline. Imagine the situation:

Salesperson: "Don't take these sir, they are made of pig leather".
Buyer: "Big Leather, Wallahay Ana biddi, yani I need Big Big Leather, I need 1000."
Seller: ":/ ok as you like."
