Strap Core
Definition
The strap core is a fundamental component for anyone who, like me, appreciates the quality and durability of straps. It is the internal structure that gives the strap its shape and strength. Made from materials such as nylon or metal, the core is essential for maintaining the strap's integrity, especially in curved or padded models. Choosing the right core directly affects the comfort and fit of the strap, making it a crucial element when selecting a quality strap.

Frequently asked questions
Is it always present?
In quality straps, yes. A strap without a core would be flat, fragile and would easily lose its shape.
What material is it made from?
In artisan straps, leather or salpa (a regenerated leather fibre material) is often used, offering a good balance between stiffness and flexibility. In cheaper products, you may find synthetic materials or cardboard.
How does it affect comfort?
A well-designed core allows the strap to adapt to the shape of the wrist without giving way, ensuring comfort while maintaining its curved aesthetic.
