Parisian Blue is a calf leather produced for French fashion house Hermès. It is what they refer to as a "Monsieur Grainee" leather, and has a lovely semi-matt finish with a tight grain. I've been lucky enough to acquire a small amount of this famous leather in a lovely mid blue colour. I leave the edges natural with this one as I've found it looks so much better with un-finished edges. This is a leather that is certainly not readily available (and I probably won’t be able to get any more once it’s gone) so I’m listing it as a “limited edition”. As a result, each Parisian Blue strap will come with a signed letter from me stating the date your strap was made and giving it a production number. The strap shown is made with butterscotch stitching, but pale blue and natural threads work well with this leather too. If you want to see the options for thread colour please see the stitching colours page. Straps produced with Parisian Blue leather will be approx 3.5mm 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 -
Chartreuse is a another leather that I've been able to source that was produced for Parisian fashion house, Hermès. It is what Hermès refer to as an "Epsom" leather, one of the leathers most commonly used in the manufacture of Kelly and Birkin Sellier-style bags. It makes a fine watch strap, too! This is a leather that is certainly not readily available (and I almost certainly won’t be able to get any more once it’s gone) so I’m listing it as a “limited edition”. As a result, each Chartreuse strap will come with a signed letter from me stating the date your strap was made and giving it a production number. The strap shown is made with butterscotch stitching, but natural & emerald green (for a low contrsat stitch) work beautifully with this leather too. You can see the options for thread colour see the stitching colours page. Straps produced with Chartreuse leather will be approx 3mm 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
