What started as a small hobby quickly grew into something bigger. People weren’t just buying a product—they were connecting with the feel, the look, and the soul of something truly handmade. With every new strap, the vision became clearer: to create high-quality, vintage-inspired leather bands that elevate the watches they’re paired with.

The journey actually began after I bought a beautiful strap from a well-regarded company—flawless, precise, and honestly… a little too perfect. It lacked the handmade character I was hoping for—that subtle imperfection that gives an object its soul. So I started making my own. The first few were a bit rough, but they had exactly what I was looking for: honesty, intention, and a touch of human imperfection. And while I’ve improved a lot since then, that handmade spirit is still at the heart of every strap I craft.

I use only premium leathers from respected tanneries, chosen for their durability, character, and ability to age beautifully. Each strap is hand-stitched using traditional techniques, giving it that unmistakable handmade warmth you won’t find in mass-produced bands. Slight variations, subtle marks, and natural textures aren’t flaws—they’re proof that a real person shaped every inch.

This brand is still small. Still personal. Still rooted in the belief that slow-made is better-made.
