Below is the response from Primark i n regards to Pig Suede query
Primark response to which footwear is made from Pig Suede!
Thank you for your email.
I can confirm that if the labelling indicates that the footwear is made from leather. The suede insocks and generally suede ballerinas and leather ballerinas are made from Pig suede. The only non pig leather we use is on some of our leather sandals which are made from cow leather.
Yours sincerely,

Some further information from Primark have said the following on X
Hi, we use real leather in some of our shoes and accessories. If the shoe states on the labelling “real leather” then it often is suede leather which are made from Pig suede. We also use cow leather or synthetics on some of our shoes. Please check the label for more info!
From separate research we have found another way of telling us as well.
The main tell-tale sign of genuine pig skin leather is the small 3-dots pattern scattered randomly on the surface. These spots appear only on one side. If you are not sure, read labels. Note that the terms pig suede, pork suede and peccary also refer to pig leather.
Shoes and bags are made of pigskin, and the pattern is very distinctive. That is, three points can be seen forming a triangle. While the cowhide pattern is wavy. As for the texture, pork skin is softer and very smooth.
We hope this helps!
