The Odessa Pebbled Calfskin Belt is one of the finest belts we've crafted. Odessa calfskin is known as one of the finest calfskin leathers and develops an incredible patina with wear. Odessa Shrunken Calfskin leather comes from the famous Germany tannery Weinheimer Leder and is a key supplier to luxury brands.
This belt is 100% handstitched and takes approximately 4 hours of handstitching to completely stitch the entire belt.
We've lined this belt with a grey pebbled calfskin called Odessa Calf from the Germany tannery Weinheimer Leder. This lining calfskin is often referred to as "Togo".This belt is also lightly padded across the entire belt and this padding adds more dimension and character to the belt.
This belt is made-to-order and can be customised to your liking. For the total length of the belt, we recommend using the following guide: [Your Waist Size] + 12.5cm/5-inches.

Care & Maintenance
With our leather straps and belts, 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.

The Details
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.
Handstitched
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.
Hypoallergenic 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.
