Diamond back gator or pearled stingray.

Just kidding some nice soft calf skin in the interior color with a contrasting stitching would be nice.

Alcantara is a fabric, not a leather, and will absorb skin oils and grime, requiring cleaning maintenance. The marketing has been great, but leather is a better material for this application.
