Tech/Engineering - Computers: Hardware / Flash drives | | French term or phrase: « peau de pêche » | Still on the features of a USB flash reader:
- un moule exclusif XYZ avec une finition « peau de pêche »...
I found "peach skin finish/finishing" but am not sure. Has anyone come across "peach skin finish" as a description for a flash reader?
Thanks again =D

| soft texture / soft-textured
Explanation:
...it looks like this refers to texture, rather than colour...
--Peau de pêche : "Belle peau douce" (see reference)
For example, a jacket is referred to having a "toucher peau de pêche" @ http://www.mark-forest.eu/vetements_de_peche.htm

Yes, in your particular context, you'll want to use "soft-textured". Hope this helps.

Asker: Hi Jamie,
If I go with your suggestion for moule - housing - would soft-textured housing work here?

| "brushed denim"
Explanation:
The Lexique textile de Pierre Hirsch specifically gives the phrase “peau de pêche” as brushed denim. Since it is quotation marks, perhaps they mean a finish that looks like brushed denim.
