Leather with a bright metal look
There are leathers that have a look like a bare metal. Such optics are achieved by applying a foil with metallic optics to a smooth leather. For this purpose, thin layers are applied, which look like a polished metal surface. Such leathers are usually found in fashion objects like shoes, bags, etc.
During the coating, a fold was folded in. Metallic sheets on leather are very thin.
