Shell Cordovan is an equine leather made from the highly fibrous connective tissue - the shell - underneath the flesh on the butt of the horse. This leather is flexible, yet strong, and is known for exhibiting the best wear and patina out of any cut/tanning process. If you're wondering why this wallet is so expensive, Shell Cordovan is very labor intensive to produce - few tanneries have the ability and knowledge to do so- and costs in excess of $100 per square foot.
