watch straps
Each watch strap is hand-cut and finished using only the finest natural leather. Vegetable tanning guarantees superior resistance and a softness that adapts perfectly to the shape of your wrist. Renew your style with a unique piece, created to last and tell the story of your passion for excellence.
A vegetable-tanned belt doesn't wear out: it develops a unique patina that tells your story. Here are three golden tips to make it last for decades:
1. Let it "breathe"
Natural leather absorbs body moisture during the day. When you are not wearing it, avoid leaving it in your trousers. The ideal way is to hang it by the buckle or roll it up loosely: this will help the leather relax and maintain its original shape.
2. Beware of water (and heat!)
Vegetable-tanned leather is sensitive to excess water. If it gets wet: Pat it immediately with a soft cloth and let it dry naturally in the air. What to avoid: Never use a hair dryer or radiators! Excessive heat dries out the fibers, making the leather stiff and brittle.
3. Nourish it when needed
If after some time the leather feels a bit dry or you see small surface scratches: Use a clean wool or cotton cloth. Apply a small amount of neutral leather cream or simple beeswax. Massage with circular motions: the leather will absorb the nourishment and become shiny and soft again.
Artisan's tip: Small marks on the surface are proof that you are wearing a 100% natural material. Often, simply rubbing them with the warmth of your fingers is enough to make them disappear!
