Taupe Shrunken Calf Leather Strap

Our Shrunken Calf is a chrome-tanned leather from Remy Carriat in France.

Tannery: Remy Carriat, France
Temper: Soft
Surface: Natural shrunken grain, non-uniform
Patina: None
Water Resistance: High. To ensure longevity, avoid moisture or soaking our straps in water.

As our straps are handcrafted with natural leather, each strap will be unique and may have slight variations to the product photo.

Shrunken Calf is an extremely soft and comfortable leather that makes for a perfect watch strap. This leather has excellent water resistance, resilient and easy to maintain. The textured grain gives it a timeless look and will show minimal wear over time. It is for this reason that this leather is used by many luxury brands for their handbags.

All of our watch straps are entirely handmade one by one, utilising traditional leather crafting techniques. They are cut, saddle stitched and edge painted by hand to ensure that your strap lasts you a lifetime. All of our straps are lined with Zermatt leather, a hypoallergenic and water-resistant french calf leather.

With our leather straps, we recommend avoiding prolonged contact with, and submerging the strap in water. While our leathers may have strong water resistance on the surface, water may seep through the core of the strap through the stitching holes causing damage. As a result, we strongly recommend avoiding getting our leather straps wet.
