What my customers say...
I'm incredibly grateful for the customers who choose a handmade strap from my workshop. Here are a few recent comments from people who’ve worn their straps out in the world. You can read more on my testimonials page.
“Great watch strap, probably the best I've seen. Great communication and service. Well recommended and will use again.”
“I have just received my new Vanilla leather strap from Rich at Toshi straps. I have a couple of nice watches ,nothing very expensive but both straps have worn out. I started looking for a good quality replacement for one of watches (a Chris Ward Typhoon ) and was initially very reluctant to commit to spending £95-00 on a strap, but decided the watch deserved it. I placed the order and a day later received an email from Rich,thanking me for the order and confirming my specifications. I received the strap ten days ahead of schedule and the moment I fitted it to the watch my concerns regarding cost evaporated. The strap is stunning and beautifully made,It makes the watch look far more expensive than it actually is, the colour is simply gorgeous. If you have a watch and want to enhance it aesthetically I doubt there are better straps out there than those made by Rich. I now have to order a second strap for the other watch but I am confident that it will be money very well spent. My thanks and compliments to Rich at Toshi for a truly outstanding piece of work. I’m not easily impressed but Rich fulfilled his part of the deal ten days early and the strap is better in every way than I expected. I cannot recommend him enough. Outstanding product and equally outstanding customer service .”
“Photographs can hardly capture the wonderful texture and feel of the leather. Richard’s attention to detail extends well beyond his craftsmanship: first-class communication, delivery ahead of schedule and a thoughtful, handwritten letter accompanying the strap. A remarkable piece of craftsmanship, made with care, passion and character. Thank you, Richard, for creating something that means so much more than just a watch strap. Highly recommended.”
