crocodile skin

Luxury bag material

Crocodile skin is the hide of a crocodile, prized for its distinctive pattern of scales and used in luxury leather goods—handbags, belts, watchbands, boots.

The term also describes the texture itself: a wallet in crocodile skin, crocodile skin boots.

Figuratively, it can describe rough, scaly human skin, especially when dry or aged.
