Exotic stingray skin can be made with various leather accessories
What is stingray skin?
Stingray skin is also known as shagreen. Shagreen is an upper part of certain species of shark and stingray used in leather crafts and the latest models of leather handbags.
At this time, stingray skin is widely used to make leather passport wallets, watch straps, leather sling bags and many more. The skin of the stingray is the most abundant of the stingrays cultivated in Asia.
Stingray skin has a fibrous fleshy side made of collagen fibers, like normal skin, but therein lies its uniqueness.
On the surface of the stingray skin there are motifs such as small balls, sometimes these motifs are also commonly called pearls. There are motifs that are larger in the middle of the skin and some are smaller on the outer edge.
Each small ball on the surface of a stingray's skin is made up of a hard substance known as dentin. Dentin is the tougher outer layer of enamel. Dentin Very similar to teeth. Stingrays use these teeth as an outer shield and can also be called a defense system against attack. That is why the ball motif is only for the surface of the stingray skin around the vital organs.
During display, the soft fleshy outer wing is removed, usually used for consumption or the shagreen top layer is sent for tanning which will be used as material for the manufacture of elegant men's leather bags and women's leather wallets.
This is why the skin of a stingray is inconsistent or not the same as the shape of a stingray when it was alive.
most of the tanned stingray skins that favor this skin type will remain strong and flexible for the manufacture of branded leather handbags.

Sanding is usually done after the staining process where it will sand the part of the machined surface that will show dentin that will not show. Then, after sanding is complete, if a more diverse color is needed, then the skin is.
