If you love the feel of natural leather or maybe manmade textiles are more your choice, the Watch Specialist collection of women’s strap watches has a huge selection to suit everyone.
Most leather straps are made from cow hide and printed with other animal textures like lizard, crocodile or alligator. On more expensive watches, genuine leather straps are actually made from the real animal skins. The price of these ‘real skin’ straps can vary depending on where on the skin the strap is cut from.
Manmade textiles and rubbers are popular as a more eco-friendly option. For instance, recycling plastics from the sea or from old water bottles and making them into fresh new straps instead of adding to landfill. There are also faux leather or vegan leather animal free alternatives. These provide the look of leather, but use 100% manmade materials.
Stitching not only keeps the strap layers together, but also adds interest. Single or double rows of threads, in coordinating or contrasting colours.
