Endless Possibilities for Use

Thanks to its flexibility and ideal thickness, this leather cord is easy to braid, weave, and knot. It's therefore perfect for creating bracelets, necklaces, and other personal jewellery. In historical costuming, it finds its use as durable lacing for shoes, corsets, or for attaching various parts of a garment. As you can see in the photo, it's also perfectly suited for attaching our horn toggles and other accessories. Last but not least, it's great for wrapping the handles of knives, swords, or for creating rustic decorations.

Leather Through the Ages

Leather cords and thongs are among the oldest materials used by humankind. Since prehistoric times, they were used to bind tools, create simple clothing, build shelters, and make weapons. Leather from smaller animals like goats was particularly valuable due to its availability and properties—it was strong enough for practical use yet soft enough for comfortable wear against the skin.

A Fascinating Fact from the Ice Age

Ötzi the Iceman, whose 5,000-year-old mummy was discovered in the Alps, carried equipment that was bound and stitched together with leather thongs and sinew. His quiver, belt, and shoes were all held together by this ancient and proven material, demonstrating its timeless functionality and importance in early craftsmanship.

How to Care for Your Leather Cord

To ensure your goatskin cord maintains its natural suppleness and colour, it's best to follow a few simple rules. Avoid exposing the cord to water unnecessarily or for long periods. If it does get wet, always let it air dry slowly and naturally at room temperature—never dry it on a radiator or in direct sunlight, as it could become stiff and brittle. For a longer lifespan and to revive its appearance, you can occasionally treat it very lightly with a bit of beeswax or a quality leather conditioner.
