El cliente me dice que es la piel después de cortar sin manipulación y sin forro, por lo que se ve el corte.

"Presentamos también una nueva piel al canto y sin forro llamada Mojave, más gruesa y lustrada que envejece mejor con el tiempo".

unseamed / with rough-cut edges
Explanation:
It would definitely be unseamed. "Cantos vivos" are sharp or rough-cut edges. If this feature is outstanding in the design. The rough-cut version might be better. Once in a while I have seen "natural" edges.
