Ortensia is a stunning blue / turquoise coloured leather produced by a small independent tannery in Italy. Using a traditional vegetable tanning process centuries old the tannery produces a leather with a beautiful naked appearance – it has a matte finish and a slight pull up, and will develop bags of character as it ages.
The strap photographed for this page was stitched with grey thread, but natural stitching works very well, or teal stitching if you want low contrast.
Straps produced with Ortensia 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
