FS: HANDCRAFTED LUXURY WATCH STRAPS (SHELL CORDOVAN, CROCODILE) *PIC*

For our complete collection please see:
http://iconicpieces.com/collections/watchstraps-accessoires/straps

Our watchstraps are all hand sewn using classic stitching techniques such as saddle stitching. The edges of our straps are hand painted, burnished, polished, and buffed. The leather of our loops is measured, cut, glued, hammered, and “forked” by hand before being sewed with a practiced hand. The Iconic Pieces logo is sealed on the inside of the straps as a guarantee for superior quality. All our watchstraps are 100% handmade; you can be assured that you will not receive a factory-made strap, but a unique product of the highest quality that has undergone hours of careful selection of materials, painstaking detailing, artisanal finishing and unparalleled quality checks. Hand stitching requires far more time than machine stitching, however you gain character and strength with each stitch. A sewing-machine stitch will absolutely unravel if a single thread is broken; this is not the case with a hand-sewn saddle stitch. Many companies use the term "handmade", however they still use machines to complete edges, stitch and cut. Each single step of our production process is done with two hands using only a small selection of hand tools. We do not use machinery to boost production because we tend to believe what "handmade" ought to mean. We perpetually use the best leathers and materials on the market, including Shell Cordovan from the famous Horween brand, the finest crocodile leather and leather from the best French Tanneries. This top quality leather is a pleasure to work with and a pleasure to handle as a finished product. Each and every watchstrap is designed to last and be a part of your life for many years. You will receive the finest handcrafted watchstrap available on the market.

Exotic hides come from licensed retailers in the US with CITES certificates, we only use high quality hides from reputable and licensed merchants.
