Collection: Artisan Shell Cordovan by Leder Ogawa

Cordovan with a beautiful luster and transparency like crystal glass, a beauty of it's own, is unique from other leathers.

From ancient times to today, it has been loved by people with an eye for aesthetics who are not swept away by trends or fads.  Cordovan leather Is truly timeless. 

A cordovan shell is born from a special fiber layer in the horse's hind quarters. Horses with a good cordovan layer are limited to European heavy stallions (large horses). In other words, supply and production is very limited, and cordovan has become a very rare and sought after material.

Leder Ogawa uses only the finest selected leathers of this rare cordovan and are made with 100% mimosa tannins and traditionally and carefully tanned from Shinki leather. Leder Ogawa manufactures cordovans by hand piece by piece with a craftsman's skill cultivated by experience and technology supported by many years of research and development.  

Hardtke Leather is glad to offer you genuine Leder Ogawa Artisan shell cordovan, a unique beauty in the world, ready to craft and make beautiful items.
