About
Shinki Shell Cordovan is a premium leather produced by Shinki Hikaku tannery in Himeji, Japan, the only tannery globally specializing exclusively in horse leather production. Shell cordovan is produced from the fibrous flat muscle beneath the hide on a horse's rump, requiring specialized processing techniques including extended vegetable tanning and natural drying periods. Shinki's shell cordovan represents Japanese expertise in this demanding leather type, offering the characteristic dense grain, smooth surface, and distinctive aging properties that distinguish shell cordovan from standard leathers. Comprehensive information about Shinki's specific production methods, available colorways, and applications will be added as research sources become available.
