leathers with slits

Explanation:
"navalhado" seems to refer to any material (leather, cloth, etc.) which has been cut, presumably with a "navalha" or similar sharp object, to create slits.

The 1st link below shows "jeans navalhado" and the 2nd shows a "bolsa de couro de cobra navalhado". What they have in common is the slits which have been cut in the material.

It certainly seems to be the rage in the fashion industry, as Gilla suggests!
