Shell cordovan comes from a thin sheet of fibrous tissue called the \"shell,\" found under the rump of a horse.

The marbled red finish is achieved by shaving the outermost layer of the shell to expose the leather's own veins and fibres, then dyeing it with aniline. No two pieces look the same.

Bisanzio gets its rustic metallic look from a hand-stained aniline process that shifts colour as the light hits it. It's drum-dyed, fattened with natural oils, firm but pliable against the neck. The keeper is cut from the same hide so the gold runs continuously around the collar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe stitching is Lajin Twist gold metallic thread, saddle stitched by hand with two needles through every single hole. Each stitch is structurally independent, so if one breaks, the seam still holds. This is the same technique Hermès uses on their bags. It takes around ten times longer than machine stitching but it's the only way to get a seam that outlasts the leather.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardware is 24K gold PVD on 316L surgical-grade stainless steel from Hility. PVD bonds the gold to the steel at a molecular level, so it doesn't flake, peel or wear off. It scores 800 to 4,000 HV on hardness against 100 to 200 for regular gold plating. The same hardware specification is used by luxury watch and bag houses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe edges are burnished through 10 stages using Tokonole, a Japanese water-based burnishing gum made from natural paste, resin and wax. Each stage is polished by hand with canvas and friction until the edge is sealed glass-smooth. You cannot do this at scale. It is slow, manual saddlery work and it is what separates real leather goods from production leather goods.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarbled red shell cordovan from Rocado, Tuscany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBisanzio Oro vegetable-tanned lining and keeper from Conceria Puccini Attilio, Tuscany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLajin Twist gold metallic saddle-stitching thread\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24K gold PVD on 316L surgical-grade stainless steel hardware\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand saddle stitched, two needles, every hole\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10-stage Tokonole burnished edges\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCustom neck size, suitable for all dogs and all breeds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade to order, 2 to 4 weeks production time\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandcrafted by Chris Loverseed in Melbourne, Australia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PK9 Gear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53019739980095,"sku":"YOTH-CHIYAN","price":750.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/6685\/2671\/files\/Chiyan-1.webp?v=1779129327","url":"https:\/\/pk9gear.com.au\/products\/pk9-gear-fire-horse-dog-collar-chiyan-crimson-flame","provider":"PK9 Gear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
