High risk leather: Distinct features

So, it's possible to get leather from basilisks, for example. But they just turn into regular leather.
Even if it just gave it a darker hue or something, or maybe a mottled tone or a craggy texture, something that differentiates higher-risk animal pelts/skins from lower risk ones (giving them distinct properties) would make them more valuable and marketable and create a bit of supply/demand for them.

Just imagine being in the haute-fashion of the day- Beautiful basilisk leather boots, with their slightly blue-hued gleam to them! (as a possible example).

Might be something like:

a blue-hued ebony leather skin.

(Again, an example. It doesn't need to be this).

Thank you for listening!

+1. I like the idea of this, too. Us fashionable folks always like something new to prance around in, really. Snakeskin, croc skin, basilisk skin, shardling pelts, Lizardskin, etc. always struck me as the sort of thing that would hold a pretty distinctive appearance, even after the curing process stripped it down to something more workable.

High hopes this gets a bit of consideration. I've been loving all the new asthetics lately.
