Caviar leather
Also called Caviar
Chanel's pebbled, embossed calfskin: stiff and hard-wearing.
Fashionphile describes Caviar as calfskin embossed with a pebbled finish resembling tiny caviar beads, which makes it resistant to scratches and scuffs. Chanel introduced it in the 1990s; it stays stiff, is used on the Classic Flap, Coco Handle and Wallet on Chain, and holds its resale value. It can be wiped with a damp cloth.
