Cordovan

Cordovan is a high-quality, durable leather made from the hindquarters of a horsehide, particularly from the area around the rump. It is known for its smooth, tight grain, rich color, and exceptional strength, making it popular for fine footwear, watch straps, and accessories. The manufacturing process involves vegetable tanning, which preserves the leather’s durability and gives it a distinctive finish. Cordovan's unique properties include its durability and ability to develop a rich patina over time, enhancing its appearance and value.
