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.
