JAPANESE SHINKI SHELL CORDOVAN ART & MARBLED

Premium Japanese shell cordovan crust supplied by Shinki Hikaku.

Only the finest selected leathers of this rare cordovan are made with 100% mimosa tannins and traditionally and carefully tanned from Shinki leather.

Every shell is unique and different. Handmade in Croatia.

A cordovan is born from a special fiber layer, the cordovan layer, in the horse's buttocks. Horses with a good cordovan layer are limited to European heavy stallions (large horses). In other words, parts and production areas are limited, and cordovan has become very rare since the raw material acquisition stage.
