This kudu leather is from a short run produced by a UK based tannery. It has been dyed a beautiful light brown / sand colour. It is a pliable, full grain leather with bags of character, and I personally love it!
I have been lucky enough to buy a small amount of this leather and I am making it available as a “limited edition”. As a result, each Desert Kudu strap will come with a signed letter from me stating the date your strap was made and giving it a production number.
Kudu are antelope that 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 some scars and marks from the animals hard life. As a result 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 strap photographed for this page was stitched with natural thread. Light brown and butterscotch thread look great too. To see the options for thread colour see the stitching colours page.
Straps produced with Desert Kudu leather will be approx 4mm thick and are priced as follows:
£120 with a free spring bar buckle
£125 with a sewn in buckle
£130 with a screw bar buckle
