Shell Cordovan Leather:
Shell cordovan (or cordovan) is a world famous vegetable tanned leather, made of a specific layer of horse leather - the "cordovan".
Cordovan is only found in equine leather and scientifically its nature is closer to cartilage than skin.
Cordovan is made by shaving the rumps of tanned horses. A horse's rump yields just two oval pieces of cordovan, with each shell having a unique shape and size.
