Please note: not all products are eligible for engraving.

All products are made by hand using only high-quality materials with extreme attention to detail. See our 36 second video of the whole process.

Our main focus is on leather quality. For the manufacturing of our belts, wallets, bags and other accessories we only use full-grain leather. This type of leather was not been sanded, buffed, or snuffed to remove imperfections or natural marks on the surface of the hide (as opposed to top-grain or corrected leather), so the grain has not been altered. The grain allows for fiber's strength and durability.
Full-grain leather is considered among the best quality leathers available.

The choice of the supplier of leather was stopped at one of the oldest leather companies in the US - Horween Leather Company.

*We don't use Zermatt lining because it's like polyurethane material, but we love the real leather feeling. You really need Zermatt lining if you have a strong allergy on everything natural or you have extra high sweating all time.

**Anti-stretch material is a modern high-tech material with a thickness of only 0.1 mm. This equals the thickness of a hair or printer paper. But tearing this material is very difficult even with two hands. This material was invented and used by Hermes brand for their products. We use the same.

*** The average man's hand is 18 centimeters + - 1 cm. In the cold season the strap is tighten more tightly. And in warm - you need to relax it. So the adjustment range reaches 2-3 holes during the year. And there should be a few spare holes for aesthetics.

****You may be wondering why a strap is so expensive when leather consumption is only a few inches? The reason is that the production of the strap takes about 8 hours of work. Moreover, it is very painstaking. If the stitch on the bag moves to the side by 1mm, it will not be visible. But in working on a strap there is no room for error.

Please contact me if you need personalization (laser engravings on the buckle is available)
