Frequently asked questions
Why is epsom chosen for luxury watch straps?
Epsom combines exceptional scratch and water resistance with understated aesthetics and durability over time. Its uniform grain ensures an impeccable appearance even after years of daily wear.
Does epsom require special maintenance?
No, it's one of the easiest leathers to maintain. A simple occasional cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is enough. It doesn't require special oils like other leathers.
What is the difference between epsom and clemence?
Epsom has a finer, more uniform grain with a more compact texture, while clemence has a more pronounced grain and greater softness. Epsom is more resistant, clemence is more flexible.
