Cordovan made by ROCADO, a company based in the Ponte a Egola area of Tuscany, Italy. This Italian cordovan boasts transparency and a unique luster. It is a single-layer material with no grain surface, crafted by scraping the cordovan layer from within the leather. The dense fiber structure and the polished surface, which is individually finished by artisans, provide a distinctive charm that can only be experienced with cordovan.
GANZO, the highest-quality line available anywhere, pursues the concept of “genuine” throughout the entire process, from the selection of materials, to cutting, thinning, sewing and polishing - without compromise. The persistence and energy of takumi (expert workmen) delivers products created by the hands of craftsman who are well-versed in Japanese culture and techniques.
GANZO offers three distinct types of cordovan, each with its own unique charm. Here, we introduce the key characteristics of each series.
In Tuscany's Santa Croce, the workshop of ROCADO integrates these time-honored leatherworking methods, primarily used with cowhide, to craft fine cordovan leather.
