Let’s talk texture

There’s more than one way to skin a strap.

Between the available leathers and design options, there are well over a million possible combinations.

Each material has its own unique personality and I take great pride in finding the perfect match for your timepiece.

Consider the materials below a starting point rather than a catalogue.

Refinements &
Finishing Details

Every strap begins as a clean, unstitched foundation — the price shown on each material page reflects this base configuration.

From there, these optional customisations allow you to build something more considered and personal.

Each addition is crafted by hand and often involves extra tooling, stitching, and finishing. They take time, and that’s reflected in the cost, but they’re what transform a strap from made-to-order into something truly bespoke.

Choose any combination to make your strap reflect your taste and complements your watch.

The Vintage Collection

When a strap is 100% handmade, the main cost is labour. Stitching, integrated keepers, custom end pieces—every detail takes time.

I’ve been wanting to find a more accessible price point to my handmade creations, and by using a single floating keeper, slicked edges, and traditional spring bars, I’m able to offer each strap at $100 NZD + shipping.
