The Vintage Cavallo strap uses handmade horse leather that has been vegetable-tanned with leaves and olive tree bark, achieving a beautiful and supple grain that feels very comfortable on the wrist. The tanning process also gives this strap the durability to last, developing a pattern as it ages.
Each Vintage Cavallo leather watch strap is a unique and timeless piece that has been meticulously crafted by hand at a family-run workshop in Oostende, Belgium. Their experienced craftsmen 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 Vintage Cavallo strap has been expertly executed using contrasting thread and hand-painted with a colour stain to match the leather. This watch strap is available in several lug widths, tapering by 2-4mm at the buckle depending on the size, and features a robust stainless-steel buckle with a highly polished finish.
This watch strap is handcrafted in LIC's workshop in Belgium using high-quality horse leather. The leather, tanned naturally with olive tree barks, leaves, and fruit, has a waxy, open-pore finish and a subtle grain, making it both supple and durable. Horsehide is well-known for its exceptional strength, durability, and water resistance, making it ideal for outdoor activities and appreciated for its distinctive texture and long-lasting quality. Our Handmade Leather Cavallo straps are stylish and can withstand everyday wear. Over time, the leather develops a unique patina, enhancing its appearance.
