From where does the term ‘Cordwainer’ derive?
‘Cordwainer’ is an anglicisation of the French word cordonnier, which derives from the city of Cordoba in southern Spain—famous for the production of cordovan leather, also known as ‘cordwain’ in England.
Cordwainers are highly skilled shoemakers who use the finest-quality leather to produce shoes and other luxury products. The Worshipful Company of Cordwainers was founded in medieval London.
Cordwain leather was originally made from the skin of the Musoli goat, produced by a method supposedly known only to the Moors. The leather grew and grew in popularity until it became the most sought-after shoe material across Europe.
