Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan®
Horween Shell Cordovan is a hallmark of traditional American craftsmanship—dense, smooth, and naturally lustrous. Each shell is hot-stuffed, polished, and hand-finished in Chicago by Horween Leather Company using methods perfected over a century. At Velle Alexander, every strap is cut and finished by hand in Minneapolis, resulting in a piece that resists creasing, develops a deep patina, and wears beautifully for decades.
Best with: Classic or vintage-inspired watches where heritage, longevity, and quiet luxury take precedence—ideal for collectors who appreciate enduring American craft.
Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan®
Shell Cordovan from Horween is a dense, non-creasing equine leather prized for its smooth surface, natural luster, and exceptional longevity. Cut from the fibrous membrane beneath the hide, it offers a uniquely firm hand that molds comfortably to the wrist while maintaining its clean, polished appearance over time. The leather’s deep, aniline-dyed color and understated sheen develop slowly and beautifully, making it an excellent choice for clients who appreciate heritage materials with unmistakable character and enduring performance.
