Cordovan Leather Hides for High End Leather Goods

Cordovan leather, often called the king of leather, is prized for its refined beauty, exceptional durability, and unmistakable high gloss finish. Made from a rare fiber layer found only in the hindquarters of horsehide, shell cordovan is more labor intensive and rarer than traditional cowhide. This artisan selection features hides tanned with 100 percent mimosa tannins using time-honored methods and finished through glazing, hand aniline dyeing, pressing, and waxing to create a smooth, flat surface with rich color and captivating sheen. Coveted for wallets, money clips, footwear, and other personal accessories, cordovan develops a deep patina over time, offering lasting performance and timeless appeal for makers seeking truly distinctive leather.
