What makes Horween Shell Cordovan special is how beautifully it ages.
Made with genuine, natural materials, each piece has a history and story behind it, and each piece is alive with a unique personality.
Prized and excellent in quality, Horween Shell Cordovan leather has a long-lasting beauty that becomes closer to you the more you use it.
We then designed a women's line of products with an emphasis on how beautifully our products age.
Each kunei piece is made with the utmost care by the hands of skilled craftsmen,
some taking as long as six months or more to complete so that you can experience
the exquisitely fine and supple texture of this special leather.
The differences in thickness, color, and texture of Shell Cordovan is proof that the horse from
which the leather came from enjoyed perfect freedom among the grasslands of Canada and France.
Polishing and taking care of every scratch and scrape is one of the joys of owning a piece made from this treasured leather.
SKILLFUL TECHNIQUES
The Horween Company of Chicago, Illinois was founded 110 years ago and has established itself as one of the world's foremost tanneries,
with special praise set aside for its famous Shell Cordovan leather.
Since its founding, Horween has processed its leathers through over 100 steps to carefully scrape, polish, and strengthen the leather,
including careful and repeated immersion in proprietary tannin and vegetable oil baths to completely penetrate the leather,
resulting in a fine leather with a strong, deep luster that lasts forever.

There are two regions in Japan famed for their silk: Nishijin in Kyoto on the west side of Japan, and Kiryu on the east.
We use the highest grade of weave, called "omeshi," which originated in Kiryu.
We take it as our mission to use these traditional styles in new and innovative ways.
ORIGINS
High-grade omeshi-weave silk is very strong and produces an elegant kimono with a balanced combination of style and grace.
The weave supposedly dates back to Ienari, the 11th Tokugawa Shogun, who preferred to wear kimono woven in this style.
These fabrics are the final work of Mr. Junichi Osawa and the long-standing fabric shop Shimozen, and only a few remain in existence.
