MATERIAL

Shell cordovan from Shinki Hikaku represents the pinnacle of leather craftsmanship. Sourced from the dense fibrous shell beneath a horse’s rump, this material exhibits unparalleled durability and a distinctive glossy appearance. Its tightly packed fibers resist scratches, abrasions, and water damage while rolling gracefully rather than creasing with use. The leather softens and molds to your hand over time, developing character while maintaining structural integrity. Shinki’s vegetable tanning process spans 10 months, creating a supple, smooth and uniform surface with remarkable light-reflecting properties. Only two small viable sections per horse coupled with low supply of horsehides as by products makes it exceptionally rare, expensive and exclusive. The color palette showcases deep, richly saturated shades with inherent vintage undertones, delivering immediate aesthetic sophistication. Unlike trendy materials, shell cordovan appreciates with use, rewarding patient owners with a leather that grows more lustrous and individualized and creating a one-of-a-kind patina over time. This is a high-grade material for those who value enduring quality. Loved by craftsmen, it is uniquely suitable as a strap material to accompany and elevate your watches for decades to come.
