About Stingray Embossed Cow Leather

Stingray Embossed Cow Leather is a premium top-grain cowhide embossed with a realistic, uniform stingray pattern, also known as shagreen. Available as generous sides that average 20–25 square feet, with a 1.2–1.4 mm thickness (3–3.5 ounces), Stingray Embossed Cowhide features a chrome/semi-vegetable tannage, a shiny aniline finish, and a soft-medium temper with a large cutting surface. Available in 3 colors: Black, Brown, and Cognac, with a subtle two-tone effect, this leather is ideal for handbags, home goods and upholstery projects, belts, footwear, leather goods, and accessories.

Why Stingray Embossed Cow Leather?

Genuine stingray leather is not just expensive, but it's somewhat difficult to work, as it has a hardened, mineralized surface that acts as a natural armor for the stingray. That hard surface makes conventional cutting and stitching extremely difficult, often breaking the needle on even the toughest industrial sewing machines. Stingray Embossed Cow Sides offer a similar luxury aesthetic while retaining the practical benefits of cowhide, including a larger cutting area, softer temper, more affordable price, and easier fabrication.
