Handmade watch strap made with beautiful, light, silky and very durable Nordic reindeer leather from Ahlskog tannery (Finland). Leather strap color is very deep dark, with almost invisible hints of dark green (can be noticed at the sunlight).
The watchband is hand-stitched with waxed French lin. Feel free to customize stitching color. We use Fil Au Chinois Lin Cable. Imported from France and founded in 1903, the Fil Au Chinois waxed linen thread is used by the most luxurious leather accessory brands in Europe and the world. Cable linen is twisted linen that is assembled a second time, moistened, lightly waxed, and re-twisted. This moistening prevents the linen fibers from distorting and makes it highly durable.
The watch bands both, inner and upper sides are made of Ahlskog tannery reindeer leather. It is very light, very soft and comfortable to wear. We can guarantee that you will be more than surprised by the softness and comfort of the watch strap made of reindeer leather.
Hand-stitched with waxed thread. Thread colors are possible to customize. The thread choice is presented under the listing images.
The thickness of the watchband is 2 – 2.2 mm.
All our products are proudly crafted by hand, using only traditional methods which are over 100 years old.
In Finland, there are about 200 000 reindeer living in the northern part of the country. The reindeer husbandry area covers about 36 % of Finland’s total area and reindeer may graze freely in that area regardless of landownership. Reindeer husbandry is socially and ecologically sustainable livelihood. It provides living for a large number of people in the harsh North.
