Or it's called a shell cordovan. The structure of the shell has a density corresponding to the dermal layer called the silver surface or surface of leather. In cowhide, the thickness of the dermal layer is usually considered to be around 0.2-0.5 mm, whereas most of the shell layers produced in cordovan have a thickness of 1 mm or more. Corresponding to the dermal layer, it is a very special leather with strong surface resilience along with the firmness of the tissue itself. It has a very rare value as only two small oval cordovan pieces can be produced from a single horse hide.

It boasts the highest quality with the most diverse color lineup among cordovan, which is finished with a sophisticated finish using the surface gloss used and Italian technology accumulated.

(Real ostrich, Africa)
Finish - Matt type
Ostrich skin is a special skin that is used exclusively for the finest productions, along with crocodile skin in most brands.

Apart from the price, there is also a great difficulty in workability. The tricky thing about ostrich leather is to adjust the thickness first. In general, in order to produce small items, the thickness of each part is adjusted in various ways to suit the needs-In the case of ostrich leather, this is a leather that requires considerable technical proficiency and experience because of the difference in thickness of quill mark .

Crocodile leather
(Nile crocodile, Singapore - Henglong)
Finish - Matt type, Belly (back cut)

Crocodile leather is superior to other types of leather such as cowhide in terms of durability because it has excellent surface stiffness in addition to its unique texture and unique pattern.
Nile crocodile is regarded as the highest quality crocodile hide along with Porosus, a saltwater crocodile, and the Alligator, which lives mainly in the United States.
In the case of a glossy-type crocodile, its luster disappears when it is not taken care of while using it, whereas a matte-type crocodile leather has the attractiveness of natural light coming up nicely while using it and aging over time. Like cowhide, matte type leather has less surface treatment compared to glossy type, so it has no choice but to use raw hide with less scarring, and it is traded at a higher price than glossy crocodile at the same grade/size.
If you see the work of Arte di mano, which combines the finest crocodile leather manufactured by Henglong and the refined Arte di mano craftsmanship recognized in the world market, you are sure that you will no longer be able to find materials and quality beyond that.

Ostrich leather
(Real ostrich, Africa)
Finish - Matt type
Ostrich skin is a special skin that is used exclusively for the finest productions, along with crocodile skin in most brands. It is characterized by the appearance of feathery pores called Quill Marks. The grade of the ostrich hide is determined by how evenly and beautifully this Quill mark is. A price of each ostrich skin costs about the same as a crocodile skin. Of course, it is very large compared to the crocodile, but the quill mark is actually very narrow.
Apart from the price, there is also a great difficulty in workability. The tricky thing about ostrich leather is to adjust the thickness first. In general, in order to produce small items, the thickness of each part is adjusted in various ways to suit the needs-In the case of ostrich leather, this is a leather that requires considerable technical proficiency and experience because of the difference in thickness of quill mark .
However, the peculiar details and beautiful quillmark texture of the ostrich leather product completed through the process are well worth enduring all the trouble and annoyance.

Crocodile leather
(Nile crocodile, Singapore - Henglong)
Finish - Matt type, Belly (back cut)
Henglong, a Singapore-based company owned by LVMH, the parent company of Louis Vuitton, is a world-class crocodile skin tannery that produces high-quality crocodile skins. Crocodile leather is superior to other types of leather such as cowhide in terms of durability because it has excellent surface stiffness in addition to its unique texture and unique pattern.
Nile crocodile is regarded as the highest quality crocodile hide along with Porosus, a saltwater crocodile, and the Alligator, which lives mainly in the United States.
In the case of a glossy-type crocodile, its luster disappears when it is not taken care of while using it, whereas a matte-type crocodile leather has the attractiveness of natural light coming up nicely while using it and aging over time. Like cowhide, matte type leather has less surface treatment compared to glossy type, so it has no choice but to use raw hide with less scarring, and it is traded at a higher price than glossy crocodile at the same grade/size.
If you see the work of Arte di mano, which combines the finest crocodile leather manufactured by Henglong and the refined Arte di mano craftsmanship recognized in the world market, you are sure that you will no longer be able to find materials and quality beyond that.
