Bramble is a heavy weight, full grain kudu leather with a more classic, semi-gloss appearance than the other kudu leathers I use. It is beautifully soft and pliable from the start and makes a very comfortable watch strap.
Kudu live in dense brush or forest in the African savanna, one of the harshest environments on earth, and are prey to preditors such as leopards and hyenas. The kudu skins used to produce this leather exibit all the scars and marks of the animals hard life. Being a full grain leather, any scars on the animals skin will be visable, although as the product is natural no two pieces of leather are the same and so the scarring will be more visable on some straps than others. This means that no two kudu leather straps will look the same, ensuring your strap will be unique. As is the case with all the kudu leather I use, the skins are the result of the seasonal kudu cull mandated by the South African government.
The Bramble strap photographed for this page was stitched with grey thread, but natural, black and light brown threads all look good with this leather.
Straps produced with Bramble leather will be approx 4.5mm thick and are priced as follows:
£100 with a free spring bar buckle
£105 with a sewn in buckle
£110 with a screw bar buckle
