Shell Cordovan.co - Review
Corovan.co's Shell Cordovan is a triumph of tanning
Shell Cordovan from cordovan.co
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, lies a tannery called, “Cordovan”. Cordovan.co has always focused on working with horsehides, primarily producing cordovan leather, but also other types like avancorpo and culatta. This review focuses on cordovan leather, a dense type of leather derived from the fibrous flat connective tissue beneath the hide on a horse's rump. The name 'cordovan' traces its origins back to Cordoba, Spain, where the Visigoths first produced this leather in the seventh century.
Toscano Tannery's Cordovans showcase a timeless elegance, the collection embodies unparalleled selection of different artisan dying and finishing. Sustainably sourced and ethically tanned, these shells epitomise a refined legacy, making them an investment in both style and tradition.
