Shell Cordovan Hand Stitch Collection
Tanned in Chicago using a six-month process developed over generations, Horween Shell Cordovan is dense, smooth, and built to last. Each shell is oval in shape and made from a specific part of the horsehide, then hot-stuffed, shaved, and polished by hand over time, building its distinctive sheen.
Horween’s formula remains a closely guarded secret, passed down since 1905. The result is a high-shine leather with no visible grain and a slow-developing patina that gives each pair a unique finish. Our relationship with Horween is built on shared values — we use their Shell Cordovan only where it can be properly respected.
