I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

I believe this clue is a quadruple definition!!

'shark skin' is the first definition.
'bag' can be an answer for 'skin' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'shark' bit.

'from' is a link.

'basking shark' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'in' is a link.

'a piece' is the third definition.
(bag is a kind of piece)

'of' acts as a link.

'luggage' is the fourth definition.
(bag is a kind of luggage)

Can you help me to learn more?
