## What is Pufferfish Leather?

Le Puffer uses genuine Lagocephalus sceleratus (silver-cheeked toadfish) leather.
This invasive species poses a threat to Mediterranean ecosystems. By converting
sustainably harvested skins into luxury goods, Le Puffer turns an ecological
challenge into a conservation solution.

The leather is distinctive: textured, naturally patterned, and unlike any other
material in the luxury market.
