Of all the materials you wouldn’t want to put against your body, fish skin has got to be pretty high on the list. But now Thai entrepreneurs have developed a way of processing skins of tropical fish to make them into durable leather.
And certainly the most eye-catching, and stomach turning, item they have developed is the fish-skin bikini. However perhaps it’s not so bad, the model who was wearing the item, Sudara Sae-lin said, “It’s comfortable. The bikini can really breath and I like that it’s waterproof, it means it can dry more easily.”
Despite the obvious environmental benefits I really don’t think many girls or guys would find the sight or feel of a bikini made of old dead fish skin that sexy. While the effort must be applauded I think we’ll be forgiven for preferring our fish nicely cooked with a drizzle of lemon and a glass of white wine.
