Custom Handmade Leather Band for Apple Watch - Causal Slim

**Made to Order** This watch strap is made to order. It can be customized with different widths, lengths, and connector/buckle colors. Production will be completed within approximately 7 working days from order confirmation. **Purely Handmade** Crafted and hand-stitched 100% by hand in Hong Kong, without the use of any machinery. **For Men and Women** The Causal Standard series is suitable for both men and women, adding a classic and elegant touch to your Apple Watch. The strap comes with metal connectors and a buckle, but does not include the Apple Watch itself. Each strap includes two strap loops, one of which is fixed. **Finest Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather** The leather used for the strap is a vegetable-tanned leather named "Buttero," produced from cowhide by the renowned Conceria Walpier tannery in the Tuscany region of Italy. It is characterized by its natural tanning process, with each hide possessing unique tones and patterns, ensuring that every strap has its own distinct identity. **Lining Leather** The lining leather used for the strap is also a vegetable-tanned leather named "Buttero" from the same tannery, Conceria Walpier. As this leather is in direct contact with the skin, we use only the natural, undyed "Buttero" for the lining. **Strap Thickness** The strap has a thickness of approximately 2.5 mm. After a few days of wear, it will conform and mold to your wrist. **How to Distinguish Vegetable-Tanned Leather from Other Materials** Developed over centuries with exquisite craftsmanship and traditional techniques, vegetable-tanned leather offers a unique appearance and unparalleled durability. Due to the significantly longer tanning time, lower level of automation, and the need for highly specialized tanners, vegetable-tanned leather is considerably more expensive and not widely adopted. It accounts for only 20% of the world's leather production, while chrome-tanned leather makes up the remaining 80%. Unfortunately, for the inexperienced eye, it can be difficult to differentiate by sight alone. However, you can always trust your nose; vegetable-tanned leather emits a rich, distinct leather aroma. Synthetic leather made from plastics will certainly lack this unique "leather scent," as will most products made with other tanning methods. Over time and with wear, the leather's color will gradually deepen, developing a more natural and beautiful patina—these are the exclusive characteristics of vegetable-tanned leather. **Special Note** Please be aware that the leather used for the strap is a natural product and may contain minor imperfections such as natural scars, stretch marks, and other marks on the leather. These are normal characteristics of genuine leather, and we will do our best to select the finest parts of each hide for production. Regarding color, we have made every effort to provide photographs that most closely represent the strap's true color. However, colors may vary slightly when viewed on different monitors or phone screens. << **Custom Strap Sizing Guide** >> **Apple Watch Case Size:** You can find the case size on the back of your Apple Watch. Apple Watch case sizes are available in 38, 40, 41, 42, 44, and 45 MM. **Strap Length:** To achieve the best fit for your wrist, please take a few minutes to measure the length labeled "W" as shown in the diagram. With your original Apple Watch rubber band laid flat on a table, measure the lengths of A and B, where B is measured starting from the middle hole position. To avoid a strap that is too long or too short, we will craft the strap based on your "W" measurement. Please measure the correct length for your custom Apple Watch strap. Our genuine leather straps are compatible with Apple Watch Series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. **After order confirmation and completion, please contact us with the following information:**  Apple Watch Case Size  Strap Length "W"  Connector and Buckle Color
