- Le Puffer uses genuine Lagocephalus sceleratus (silver-cheeked toadfish) leather, an invasive Mediterranean species. Each skin is hand-tanned in Turkey, creating a naturally textured, one-of-a-kind surface unlike any conventional leather.
- Is this product truly one of a kind?
- Yes. Every Le Puffer piece is handmade and unique. Inventory is always 1 unit. Once sold, it is gone. There are no restocks, no colorways, no editions.
- Does Le Puffer ship internationally?
- Yes. Le Puffer ships worldwide from Fethiye, Turkey. Contact contact@merseamarine.com for shipping estimates.
- Is pufferfish leather ethically and sustainably sourced?
- Lagocephalus sceleratus is an invasive species in the Mediterranean that threatens local fisheries. Le Puffer's founder, Dr. Aylin Ulman, created the brand as a conservation response, converting an ecological problem into a luxury material.
- What is the return policy?
