Glossary
Eco-friendly
Definition
Material or production process designed to minimise environmental impact, using natural fibres, sustainable dyes and low-resource methods. In our artisan trade, this means working with vegetable-tanned leather and certified organic fibres, respecting the environment without compromising on the quality of the strap.
Frequently asked questions
Does an eco-friendly watch strap last as long as a traditional one?
Absolutely. The quality vegetable-tanned leather I use ages beautifully, becoming more distinctive over time. Durability depends on the craftsmanship, not the sustainability of the material.
What eco-friendly materials do you use for your straps?
I mainly work with vegetable-tanned leather treated with natural tannins, certified organic cotton and sustainable linen. Each material is chosen to guarantee beauty, durability and environmental responsibility.
How do I recognise a genuine eco-friendly strap?
Look for certifications such as FSC, OEKO-TEX or Leather Working Group. In my atelier I guarantee complete traceability: every strap has a verified origin and a transparent process.
