{"product_id":"amalthea-leather-watch-strap","title":"Amalthea","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmalthea is a heavyweight goat leather that is put through a full vegetable tanning process before being re-tanned with natural oils. It’s produced by a small tannery that uses larger, heavier skins compared to regular goats, resulting in a goat leather with a firmer structure than usual. It is very pliable from the start, and available in this lovely hazel colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’ve named this leather after Amalthea, the guardian and nurse of the infant Zeus in Greek mythology, commonly depicted as the nurturing goat whose milk fed Zeus on Mount Ida.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strap photographed for this page was hand stitched using natural thread. Personally I think this is the right choice with this leather, but light brown works well, too.
