Leather Care
Shell Cordovan: Tough, Self-Healing, and Easy to Care For
Shell cordovan is legendary for its durability and beauty. Its secret? Natural oils that redistribute with wear, practically erasing minor scuffs as you go.
To keep your shell cordovan looking its best:
Avoid sharp objects: Keep keys and loose change in a different pocket.
Beat the heat: Don't leave your wallet in a hot car.
Effortless shine: Just carry it, and your wallet develops a beautiful polish naturally in your pocket.
With just a little care, your shell cordovan will last for years. A soft cloth and horsehair brush are all you need for regular cleaning.
Ashland leather comes pre-oiled, so hold off on conditioners for a few months. Later, if you'd like, try Saphir Cordovan Cream or Horween® Venetian Shoe Cream for an extra touch of care. -
