Cognac Brown Shell Cordovan Leather Strap
Cognac Brown Shell Cordovan from the tannery Shinki Hikaku in Kobe, Japan, is one of the finest shell cordovan tanneries. Shell Cordovan is a membrane located in the rump area of a horse and is known to be one of the most durable leathers available.
Shinki Hikaku's 'Oil Cordovan' is their standard finish which gives the leather a very oily look with a slight pull-up effect. Compared to Italian and American shell cordovan, Shinki shell cordovan is more resistant to scratches and marks.
This is a made-to-order strap and requires approximately 10-15 days to complete.
The sizing is in the format as follows: (LUG WIDTH/BUCKLE WIDTH)
- The lug width refers to the width of the strap at the lugs (where it connects to the watch).
- The buckle width refers to the width of the strap at the buckle or clasp.

- Short: 105mm/70mm will suit a 145 mm - 167.5 mm wrist size. (5.7 - 6.7 inches)

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.

Meticulously Made, Finely Finished
Each of our watch straps is meticulously handcrafted using traditional leatherworking techniques. From precise cutting and saddle stitching to hand-painted edges, every detail is crafted to ensure exceptional durability and a unique patina that enhances with wear. Our straps are lined with Zermatt leather, a premium French calf leather renowned for its hypoallergenic properties and water resistance. As we use only full-grain leathers, the natural variations and distinct characteristics of the material will be evident, making each strap truly one of a kind.
Hypoallergenic Calfskin Lining
In order to provide a luxurious feel, the straps are lined with Zermatt calfskin leather from Tannery HAAS. This premium material is specially developed for use as a lining material and offers exceptional softness and comfort. It is also water and sweat-resistant, making it ideal for use in hot and humid climates.
Fine Hand Stitching
Our made-to-order straps showcase a fine hand-stitching density of 1.93mm. The combination of linen thread with fine hand-stitching makes for a very refined strap.
Strap Thickness
Our standard unpadded strap thickness is 2.2mm and padded strap thickness tapers from 4.5mm to 2.2mm. We are able to customise the thickness of the strap accordingly.
316L Stainless Steel Buckle
Our straps comes installed with a 316L stainless steel buckle which is engraved with our Artisan Straps logo. This buckle comes with drilled lug holes allowing for easy removal without damaging the strap.
Spring Bars
Choose between regular spring bars, quick-release spring bars or no spring bars. While quick-release spring bars are our preference as we love to change straps, we also understand it's not everyones cup of tea!
Smooth & Polished Edges
The edges of our straps are finished with Italian edge paint - sealing the raw edges from wear and tear. With over 5 layers of edge paint applied and rigorous sanding in between, our straps exhibit a beautiful smooth edge.
