The shark lover in me was a bit funny about getting a shark skin strap but I'm glad I did. Suites the save the ocean great white shark perfectly and is as comfy as with all my artisan straps.












Taupe Swift Leather Strap
Available
Our Swift Italian Calfskin comes from the tannery Pomari in Italy. Known as one of the most supple, yet durable leathers, Swift calfskin is very commonly used for small leather goods such as watch straps and card holders. This taupe swift calfskin is one of our all-time favourite colour and leather combinations as it gives off a very luxurious, yet casual, look. It truly is a perfect strap for silver, white and cream dial watches.

With our leather straps, we recommend avoiding any contact with water. This means to avoid showering, swimming or submerging the strap in water. While our leathers may have strong water resistance on the surface, water may seep through to the fibres of the strap through the stitching holes.
However, if your strap does get wet, we recommend allowing it to fully dry before applying a bees wax or mink oil based leather conditioner to replenish the lost oils. We also recommend applying a leather conditioner ever 6-12 months to prolong the lifespan of the strap.
Avoid contact with alcohol and solvents (think perfumes and colognes!) as this weakens the integrity of the edge finishing.
