ABOUT ROCADO ITALY
Sourced from the historic Rocado tannery in Tuscany, Italy, this marbled shell cordovan is among the rarest and most coveted leathers in the world. Using a centuries-old vegetable tanning process that takes over six months to complete, each hide is hand-finished to reveal a rich, organic luster and tight grain structure unique to the shell layer.
Only two small ovals—known as “shells”—can be harvested from a single horsehide, making this leather exceptionally limited. With its dense fibers, subtle waxy feel, and deep marbling, Rocado shell cordovan is built to withstand daily use while developing a remarkable patina over time.
ABOUT OUR HARDWARE
This item features solid brass hardware, known for its strength and resistance to corrosion. Pieces featuring a black finish will naturally wear over time, gradually revealing the rich brass beneath—creating a unique patina that reflects its journey with you. This transformation is an intentional characteristic of the material, adding depth and individuality to each piece.
SHIPPING & PRODUCTION TIME
Unless otherwise stated in the description, each piece is meticulously handmade to order, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail. Please allow 7-14 business days for production before your order is shipped.
ONE OF A KIND
Each piece is a testament to the beauty of natural materials and artisanal craftsmanship, so no two are ever exactly alike. The hand-dyed treatment, vegetable tanned process and natural grain of the leather mean variations in texture and tone are to be expected—and celebrated. These characteristics are part of what makes your item truly one of a kind.
