Simple envelope purse made using Rocado Marbled Shell Cordovan Leather.
100% Handmade & Hand-stitched in Pennsylvania, USA using full grain Italian leather and ritza tiger thread. Built to last a lifetime, this durable leather has a subtle glaze that will develop a beautifully rich patina over time.
Shell cordovan (or cordovan) is a rare, world-famous leather made of a specific layer of hide - "cordovan". The cordovan layer exists only in equine hides and has its maximum thickness on the rump area. One horse hide yields only two small oval pieces of cordovan - two shells. Using the centuries-old method of pure vegetable tannage and hand finishing, the tanning process takes a full six months to complete. The outcome is one of the world’s finest leathers and one that is highly coveted for its unmatched durability and wonderful patina.
*Each purse is handmade and very limited quantities exist in each color combination.
