Chapón Molina - Cowhide Leather and Nickel Silver

The piece

An artisanally crafted piece of metalwork in cowhide leather and nickel silver: jewelry and object at once.

Materiality

• Tela · Hair-on cowhide

  Hair-on cowhide that keeps its natural coat, a material the meat industry discarded and that we reclaim as a textile. Every grain and whorl across the back is an unrepeatable map: no two pieces are alike. Naturally tanned, it warms the way only an animal fiber can, withstands time and gains character with every wear. Giving a noble hide a second life is, to us, the most honest kind of luxury.

Construction & details

• A one-of-a-kind piece, artisanally crafted in our atelier.

Care

• Do not wash. Specialist leather dry cleaning. Brush the hair in its natural direction.
