I have always admired the typical textured look of shagreen (Stingray Leather).  As such, when I saw this product I was immediately attracted to it.  The exterior leather is very attractive, and the interior leather is soft and supple.  I have been using this wallet for about six months and it has held it's shape well and shows little to no signs of wear.  Also, it regularly garners compliments.  Very nice product, at a very reasonable price.
