Thats not a stock saddle. It's got some kind animal print stamping done on it. Companies like Cheeky Seats make covers but I don't see any embossed ones. Corbin gives you a selection of different materials, colors, and embossed patterns to build you a seat.
If you like the color and want leather here is one https://scooterpartsco.com/ricambi/021-vespa/brown-leather-seat-for-vespa-gts-gtv-250-300?zenid=62845b2ae812d7a04f533ba44ddb6c3a |

I went with a Corbin seat...
![]() It is leather on the seating surface, heavy vinyl (better support) on the sides. A bunch of different colors and stitching available. Much better support than the OEM seat. Some will tell you that Corbin seats are firm - I agree. You need to spend some time on it to "break it in," much like a saddle for a horse. I have had Corbin seats on other bikes and find them very comfortable. This particular one is "bomber jacket brown" on the seating surface; a double stitched diagonal pattern, and black textured vinyl on the sides. Unbolt the OEM seat, both this one on. The OEM seat had pressure points that I felt after an hour of riding - I can go all day with this seat, and no sore spots. You can visit with them about what you want for customization - they have different stock stitch patterns (flames, tufted, etc), and fit. |

When I search images for Corbin seats for Vespa, that exact scooter comes up with a reference to Corbin Motorcycle Seats. My advice is to talk to Corbin if that is the seat you like.

I have had both good luck and bad luck with Corbin seats.
So far the best I have had on several motorcycles come from Sargent , in Jacksonville, Fl. That's who I plan to use for my GTS 300. saddle. |

Looks like a Corbin to me. Really like mine. I've had their saddles on several bikes. Always gotten on well with them.

It is a Corbin, had one on my 2007 it is a great seat. Corbin is a GREAT Company too. They sent me the first one and I felt the nose of the Seat had to much of a forward slope. I was told the seat has a one year guarantee that you will be happy. I sent it back, I did have to pay postage to send the seat but they covered the return to me. It was perfect, deep bucket and cut down for my 29" inseam.
