Made in Italy. Worn whenever the occasion demands it
An equine leather made from the fibrous muscles – irregular oval ‘shells’ – beneath the hide on the rump, shell cordovan is both beautiful and durable.
Over six months, each shell is gradually steeped in vegetable tannins before being placed onto glass frames to dry. They’re then hand-dyed to achieve the signature ‘aniline’ finish, which retains the natural grain of the leather. Finally, the shells are hand-glazed for a luxurious, glossy look and feel, before being stitched by hand.
Every shell cordovan strap comes with our in-house Bader deployant, which enables the wearer to take the watch off with minimal fuss. And if you want to swap it for another strap, our ingenious quick-release system makes it a breeze.
