Alpaca Trim

Can anyone tell me please, is the Alpaca Leather made from actual Alpaca hide.....or is it just a name?

I need to know this as i'm contemplating an SE with this trim and my wife keeps alpacas. Hence if it is the real thing then she says she won't sit in it!

and feels like vinyl Sad - Yepp, yukky LR pleather it is Evil or Very Mad

Better to buy material seats and get them recoverd with real 100% leather = cheaper, better, many colours available and many stiching designs also. In fact it would be cheaper for me to transport the car to the UK for leather recovering than purchse original pleather here Crying or Very sad - if only I had known that earlier Crying or Very sad 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I am wondering whether I bumped into your wife ages ago at the Sturgess Land Rover dealership. I was talking to this lady and she said she Bred Alpaca's and asked me the same question when I was looking around another car. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.
