Store for handmade watch straps

Welcome to my online store

My handmade leather watch straps are made in parallel widths and are generally between 3mm – 5mm thick. Every aspect of the manufacture of a Toshi Strap is undertaken by hand using traditional techniques – the result is a watch strap that I fully expect will give you good service for many years to come.

Every strap is hand stitched using a 4-ply waxed linen thread, and there are 20 colours of thread available to choose from when you order a strap.

Although I am first and foremost a strap maker I carry a number of items associated with watch straps in stock, so if you have come here looking for a buckle or a spring bar tool I can help too. Click on one of the categories below to see what’s available, and if you see something you like you can click on it for more detailed information. You can also check out my gallery for some inspiration.

I aim to have your strap built and shipped within 5 weeks of receiving your order and payment. This lead time will vary depending on how busy I am when you place your order, but I will always give you a firm dispatch date when I confirm your order.

1.6mm screwdriver for Panerai Luminor

£22.50

Screwdriver in stainless steel for Panerai Luminor. This screwdriver has a 1.6mm cutout end similar to that of the OEM screwdriver that comes with the Luminor watches, and is made for Luminor screw bars. Please note - although this screwdriver is not designed for bracelet screws, if you plan on using this screwdriver to remove screws from a bracelet, please be mindful that often manufacturers use a thread lock glue when putting bracelets together. It is therefore always wise to warm the bracelet screw before un-screwing to loosen the bond (I would suggest using hot water or a hair dryer are the best ways to do this).

African Kudu

From £120.00

This is something a bit different. Kudu are wild antelopes that live on the plains of Africa. They are very hardy animals, living through both the tough arid seasons as well as the lush rainy seasons and these hides show every scar related to life in one of the wildest part of the world. This means your strap will be unique - the markings ensure that no two African Kudu straps will look the same. This African Kudu leather is very soft, and is left un-dyed to retain the natural look of the leather, scars and all. If you're looking for something very rustic but extremely comfortable then this is one for you. 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, but butterscotch & light brown stitching will work well with this leather too. Straps produced with African Kudu leather will be approx 4.5mm 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

The strap shown is made with natural stitching and I think that is best with this one, but grey thread works too.
