Product Description

Black Imitation Alfa Pigskin 

The Black Imitation Alfa Pigskin is a premium-quality synthetic material designed to closely replicate the visual and tactile properties of genuine pigskin leather. With a generous width, this product is suitable for a wide variety of uses, from fashion accessories and footwear to orthotic padding and upholstery.

Premium Synthetic Leather Alternative

Made from high-grade synthetic fibres, this imitation pigskin delivers both the look and feel of traditional pigskin while offering added durability and uniformity. Its consistent grain texture and deep black tone offer a refined finish that enhances the aesthetic appeal of final products.

Generous Working Width

At 140cm wide, this material is ideal for use in larger pattern work and commercial production. The broad format allows for efficient material usage, reducing offcuts and unnecessary joins—an advantage in both quality control and cost-effectiveness.

Softness, Flexibility, and Comfort

This imitation pigskin boasts a soft yet durable surface, providing comfort where direct skin contact is involved. Its flexible structure adapts well to contours and stitching, making it ideal for detailed work in footwear, fashion, and orthotics.

Durable and Easy to Maintain

Unlike genuine leather, this synthetic alternative is engineered to be more resistant to cracking, stretching, and environmental wear. It requires minimal maintenance- simply wipe clean with a mild detergent and soft cloth. Its colour stability and surface finish remain intact with regular handling and use.
