Shell Cordovan leather is a very rare and difficult material to produce. The tanning process takes about 6 months. The raw material for Shell Cordovan is part of the horse’s hide. Only the horse’s rump is suitable for the production of Shell Cordovan.
For these reasons, Shell Cordovan is a rare and expensive material. I have found about a dozen tanneries that manufacture Shell Cordovan:
- Horween Leather Company;
- Shinki Hikaku Co;
- Maryam Tannery;
- Conceria Rocado;
- The Tannery Cloe Srl;
- Comipel;
- Lis Royal;
- Leder Ogawa;
- Clayton & Son.
I would be grateful if you could add to this list.
You forgot to add an Italian Shell Cordovan from Tuscany to the list. I have uploaded a picture of their logo.
I intentionally did not add this brand to the list. These are the partners of the ROCADO tannery.

Found the Guidi & Rosellini brand Shell Cordovan on instagram. But on the official website there is information only that they make shoes.
