The Laverton Padded Alcantara Suede Watch Strap is the epitome of elegance and offers a soft, velvety texture, plus noted for offering greater durability than a traditional suede leather strap. Paired beautifully with a vintage timepiece, this strap will feel luxuriously soft even when first worn.
Produced from Alcantara Suede, a synthetic textile material, this strap offers a unique texture and luxurious feel on the wrist. Handmade in Belgium this vegan strap is paired beautifully with a cork lining which offers a superb alternative to leather linings. The hand-stitched material edges are expertly crafted using contrasting beige thread and hand-painted with colour stain to enhance the leather's appearance.
Each Laverton Padded Alcantara Suede watch strap is a one-of-a-kind, timeless creation meticulously handcrafted at a family-run workshop in Oostende, Belgium. The skilled craftsmen devote significant time and attention to detail to ensure each strap meets the highest standards of quality, resulting in an exceptional product that stands the test of time.
