GAUCHO NINJA
HANDMADE, UNIQUE & GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU WALKING IN STYLE
LEATHER IN A NUTSHELL
A revered leather in the avant garde fashion community. The culatta is cut from the hind section, a layer sitting just above shell cordovan. It is riddled with grain irregularity and best known for its strength, comfort and unique character. This leather is often used for footwear, particularly on the reverse (flesh) side showcasing residual traces of shell cordovan bleeding onto the fibers. This gives culatta a unique and chaotic look, making its appearance highly irregular around certain cuts. Varying from areas of shell cordovan, to suede and glazed/smooth sections.
The grain (top) side of the skin is also used for boots and wallets. Due to the high oil content it is highly prone to patina which tends to develop a lustrous, almost metallic shine. The culatta is very durable with a dense fibre, yet is also soft, gummy and stretchy in texture which makes it a comfortable leather for footwear.
LEATHER IN A NUTSHELL
This leather is used in a wide variety of shoes. The unique structure of kangaroo leather allows it to be cut down to be very thin, but still retain strength.
Kangaroo leather is lighter and stronger than the hide of a cow or goat. It has 10 times the tensile strength of cowhide and is 50% stronger than goatskin.
