Cordovan Shop is a specialty leather supply store operated by JnK-handworks Co., Ltd., the manufacturer behind Arte di mano, a handmade leather brand based in Seoul, South Korea.

Based inside Arte di mano Seoul House, our shop brings together the perspective of makers and the practical needs of those who rely on shell cordovan as a functional material.

Since 2009, we have explored shell cordovan through our own hands — importing, cutting, crafting, testing, and learning from this unique material from the perspective of makers.

Shell cordovan is beautiful, but it is not an easy material. Its surface, density, oil content, thickness, color variation, and natural differences all require careful understanding. Through years of hands-on experience, we aim to share its true character with clarity and honesty.

Centered around carefully selected shell cordovan from the United States and Italy, we supply specialty leathers and maker-ready materials for leatherworkers, archers, and small studios around the world.

Our shell cordovan has also been used by Korean gold medalist archers and specialized archery schools, where the material is valued not only for its rarity and beauty, but also for its smooth surface, durability, and performance.

Cordovan Shop began with shell cordovan.
We continue to curate materials that we truly understand, use, and love.
