About Shagreen Leather:
Shagreen is a truly unique leather. It has a gorgeous texture and feel, along with a hardy essence. Historically, shagreen has been associated with luxury, taste, and grandeur with sensational figures in history such as Madame de Pompadour, prominent mistress to King Louis XV, locking it in as the “it” material of the French aristocracy. Shagreen then enjoyed a renaissance during the Art Deco era.

Today, it is appreciated for its unusual countenance and appeals to those with an eye for quality and singularity.

Ethically sourced, quality focused. The shagreen leather sourced is a by-product of net fishing off the coast of Thailand and Myanmar. The fishing communities catch and sort the stingray, and then the meat is sold for consumption while the skins are preserved for later use. After the skin is cycled through a tanning process, the result is the spectacular material that we use to adorn these wonderful, unique pieces.
