Stingray skin, also known as “galuchat”, are naturally covered with round, closely set, calcified papillae called placid scales, whose size is chiefly dependant on the age and size of the stingray. This type of leather was popularized by Jean-Claude Galuchat in 1774, a master leather manufacturing expert in the court of Louis XV of France and quickly became a fashion amongst 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. Later, the use of stingray skin has been developed into numerous products.We have developed a strict scientific processing course leading to a careful craft and special coloring technology.
