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
Crema is an Italian calf leather in a warm, butter yellow colour. It's a smooth leather with a shine to it, and is very pliable. It makes a wonderful watch strap. The strap photographed for this page was stitched with natural thread. Personally I think that works best, but if you want to be different you can see the options for thread colour here stitching colours page. Straps produced with Crema leather will be approx 3mm thick and are priced as follows: £100 with a free spring bar buckle £105 with a sewn in buckle £110 with a screw bar buckle
