Zigrino Visualize | Realize | The leather you imagine, and more. Zigrino means “stingray” in Italian. Cortina created Zigrino and Baby Zigrino to allow designers to showcase the beauty of stingray in a sustainable manner with embossed cowhides. Historically, the skin of a pearl rayfish or stingray was supremely valued for its round, closely-set calcified scales. Cortina replicates this iconic look, sometimes called “shagreen,” and highlights its beauty with a varied collection of tipped, washes and other exotic looks on a pattern that repeats the central “jewel” every eight inches. Baby Zigrino offers the same exotic look on a smaller scale. When dyed, the result is a two-toned, translucent coloration throughout the skin. Note: Environmentally friendly Zingrino is lead free and emits low VOCs.
