The Leuven strap uses horse leather that has been vegetable-tanned with leaves and olive tree bark, achieving a beautiful and supple finish which feels very comfortable on the wrist. The tanning process also gives this strap the durability to last, developing a pattern as it ages.
Each strap is a unique and timeless piece, meticulously crafted by hand in a family-run workshop in Oostende, Belgium. Their experienced workers dedicate a great deal of time to creating each watch strap, never compromising on quality and always striving to offer the best possible leathers.

The handstitched edge of the Leuven strap has been expertly executed using contrasting thread and is hand-painted with a colour stain to match the leather. This watch strap is available in various lug widths and features a robust stainless-steel buckle with a highly polished finish.
