Custom shell cordovan strap from vnhandmadeleather on etsy

Post by cheddar »

I’ve been looking for my first shell cordovan strap to use as a dress strap for a while, and hadn’t been able to find quite what I wanted for a reasonable price (especially since I wanted it for my 2 19mm watches). I finally decided to try ordering a custom strap from vnhandmadeleather on etsy; danavn.handcraft on IG. Ordered 15 days ago and arrived today. In addition to lug width, leather, and stitch style and color, I also was able to specify strap length, taper, thickness, and number and placement of buckle holes. Cost was $85 shipped.

Strap is lined with a soft, non-cordovan leather.

I’m quite pleased with the first impressions...and seeing that shell cordovan shine is [emoji7].

A few pics — the ones of the watches are pretty dark, so the third one shows the color of the strap better under normal/bright light conditions.

That looks incredible!!! I have a feeling that in real life that leather color must make that Mido dial absolutely pop! Well done, and can't wait to see some wrist shots on both of those watches.

I should have thought of this before, but just brightening the photo shows it more like it is under brighter light (duh).
