Shell Cordovan comes from horses. The shell refers to the under layer of the skin that covers the posterior of a horse. Each horse has two shells.
Genuine shell cordovan has to be vegetable tanned, which the process takes as long as 6 months. The time consuming and labor intensive process limit the production, making it one of the rarest leather available.
