What is pufferfish leather?

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.
