Italian term or phrase: Lisard
A cosa corrisponde il materiale "lisard" in Inglese?

Sto traducendo un catalogo di borse, non c'è molto contesto, sono brevi descrizioni tecniche delle borse, del tipo "Modello 141. Lisard e vera pelle. Rifiniture in ottone".

Grazie,

Paolo

neutral  tradugrace: Considering the Italian "lisard e vera pelle" it might be lizard skin effect. However, it might also be real lizard skin. After the asker's explanation, I'm sorry but I have to change my agree into neutral. May be another time ....
