Karung leather

IT: Pelle di Karung

Definition

Karung leather has always fascinated me for its uniqueness and versatility. Derived from the water snake Acrochordus javanicus, this leather is characterized by a fine and uniform texture, making it ideal for watch straps with unconventional designs. Its history is rooted in artisanal traditions, where it is appreciated for its durability and lightness. Using Karung leather means choosing a strap that stands out not only for its aesthetics but also for its ability to adapt to modern chronographs and unique pieces. This material influences strap choices, offering an unexpected and bold style touch. For Milano Straps, consider the sizes and materials that best match this leather.

The next step

The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.
