STINGRAY
Scientific name: Dasyatis Sephen
These galuchat skins come from Indonesian and Sri Lankan seas. The flesh of this fish is a food product. Stingray fishing and trade are not subject to any particular international regulation.
Stingray skin is transformed into shagreen in a traditional artisanal French process. Many stages of sanding silica pearls on its surface are needed to carry out the metamorphosis of this skin into a polished and shiny mosaic. The finish of the stripes of the frame highlight the pearly and graphic texture of the galuchat.
The beads of silica are highly resistant.
The color of the leather will darken with sebum and exposition to UV rays.
The quantities available are very limited.

Leather care instructions
Clean your frame with natural soap, especially to remove spots or an excess of oil:
Place the frame directly under cold water while massaging the leather to help it absorb the water.
Apply scent-free natural soap on the front and the branches for a few minutes. You can use Marseille soap or soap made specially for leather.
Rinse thoroughly.
Dry the frame by patting it with a clean cloth.
Let it dry completely overnight.
Remove traces of make-up from the leather:
Put some micellar water on the tip of a cotton swab. Remove any excess water and clean the leather.
Remove a scratch on the leather:
Massage the leather with your finger and the soft part of your fingernail or with a flat rounded object.
