Our Horween® Dublin leather is a natural, 100% vegetable tanned steerhide, tanned in Chicago, Illinois. The tannage uses Horween's old-fashioned, time proven Shell Cordovan tanning liquors. A blend of fats, oils, natural waxes and greases are tanned into the leather giving the hides a durability, softness and a rich round feel. The hides are finished with a "hot-plating" to give them a smoother surface, a rich luster and a light sheen with a light "pull-up" effect. The "temper" or firmness of the leather is ideally suited for luggage and cases, with just the right amount of rigidity and body.
HORWEEN SHELL CORDOVAN ACCENTS This collection features Shell Cordovan details and trim. A signature Horween® leather, genuine Shell Cordovan is world renowned for it's unique smooth, "patent like" shine, durability and unique 6-month tanning process. The "Shell" is the hindquarters of the horse, a round and quite small section of the hide. You will see the Shell Cordovan used on the small front patches, D-ring holders and other sections of the luggage. A design touch that adds style and value to an already exceptional collection of luggage.
