About Stingray Leather and the Manufacturer: Known as Stingray leather, the skin of Stingrays found in the waters of Thailand Are Not an Endangered, Threatened, or an Over-fished Species of Any Kind. Winner of Thailand's "Best Innovative Product Award," our manufacturer created the first stingray leather factory in the world and are the largest, exclusive exporters of fine stingray leather products in Thailand. This item was exported directly from their factory, which was founded in Bangkok, Thailand over many years of careful research and continuous tanning experiments on stingray skin.They have developed a strict scientific processing course leading to a careful craft and special coloring technology. The result is their elegant stingray leather goods which are firm, wear-resistant and durable. Stingray skin, also known as “galuchat”, are naturally covered with round, closely set, calcified papillae called placoid scales, whose size are chiefly dependent on age and size of the stingray. This type of leather was popularized by Jean-Claude Galuchat in 1774, a master leather-worker in the court of Louis XV of France and quickly became fashionable among the French aristocracy. With its rough and granular surface, it is often used as a fancy leather for book bindings,pocket-books and small cases, as well as its more utilitarian uses in the handles of swords and daggers, where slipperiness is a disadvantage. This same durable material was used for centuries by the Edo-period Japanese swordsmiths for Samurai Katana (swords) as a wrap for the weapon's hilt to ensure a confident, lasting grip. Later, the use of stingray skin has been developed into numerous high quality products such as briefcases for men and women, lady’s handbags,knapsacks, wallets, belts, clutches, cosmetic bags, etc. All of their products are carefully crafted and exported to America, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong,Malaysia, and China making them the biggest exporter of stingray leather products in Thailand. Their leather tanners work meticulously with only the finest quality materials to heighten your pride of ownership. Their authentic stingray leather goods are produced under a registered trademark, many of which others throughout Thailand are not. From beginning to end, they strive to produce only the best quality tanned and processed skins, then integrate them with premium quality cowhide leather for reliability and long-lasting durability. When polished smooth, stingray leather has a translucent pearly finish.Its beautiful appearance is highlighted by a shiny, pebble-like texture of the skin portions (skin covered with hundreds of little pieces of bone beads that glisten and sparkle in light). Stingray leather is the most durable of all known natural leather types; the pearly finish is water, scratch, puncture, and fire resistant. Products made from stingray can be expected to retain their original look and finish almost indefinitely.Highly desirable, some refer to it as the "Forever Leather". Each wallet's outer, natural stingray skin is dyed black for appeal and hand-tanned using a special process making the skins pliable and softer without compromising their durability. The inner color of Cowhide Leather compliments the outer portions. The front facing Eye-Shaped Diamond Crown designs display the ray's one-of-a-kind natural "crown" feature showing large surrounding clusters of bony remnants with larger centered (white "pearls") off the dorsal skin located near the ray's stinger barb. The front facing Pearl Row designs display the ray's one-of-a-kind natural "lateral spine" feature, easily identified by the continuous row of pearls running through the center. The appearance of this pearl row is made by sanding down the central row of lateral spines in the ray’s back. Both the crown and pearl row are typically spiked, which have been sanded down smooth during the tanning process. Each wallet is unique due to the natural variations of skin texture from one ray to another, no two are ever alike. Used worldwide for centuries for its beauty and durability, it is considered the most durable leather material used in the world. These resilient stingray skin wallets withstand daily stresses placed on them, ensuring years of reliability without the fading, cracking, or unraveling affects common to other wallets. Stingray leather has become a new fashion statement trend in the world leather markets and continues to gain high consumer interests with its uses. Wallet Care: Aside from using a moist cloth soaked with plain water to remove dirt, Stingray skin is naturally moisture-resistant without the need for special cleaning techniques or preservative treatments. You can use a leather cleaning product for the inside of your wallet's leather portions, if necessary. Howto Distinguish Genuine Stingray leather From Synthetics: 1. Fire Test: The beaded grains of a fake will bond, melt, or smoke when burned; genuine stingray skin will only get hot. Genuine stingray skin has a built-in resistance to fire. The imitation skin made from plastics will melt after a few seconds. However, do not apply flame to the cowhide border or lining of a ray product or apply flame to genuine ray skin for a prolonged period. 2. Red Hot Needle Test: The grains of genuine stingray leather can not be punctured with a red hot needle. Take a red hot needle to the center of the white pearls. If it punctures through this bony area then it is plastic. You know because plastic cannot resist such high temperatures. Genuine stingray skin has a built in resistance to heat. If you apply a heated metal tip to the large pearls of an imitation skin it will melt after a few seconds. Genuine ray skin will not. 3. Skin Grains: The grains in a fake are glued; in a genuine skin, they are part of it. The arrangement of genuine stingray skin grains are tidily, closely, and naturally bonded together leaving no gaps in between. 4. Puncture: Take a knife and press down on the beads of the skin. If the knife pushes through the beads of the skin easily and makes little sound, it is a fake.Stingray grains are hard to press through and make a louder crunching sound. 5. Scratch: Genuine stingray skin is highly resistant to scratching. If you rub steel wool against genuine ray skin there should be minimal noticeable affect. NOTE: Surface coloring will be eroded by such extreme examinations. Imitation skin made from plastics will scratch and disfigure easily.
