Rembordé
Definition
The term 'rembordé' represents one of the most appreciated finishing techniques in the world of luxury watch straps. As a collector, I appreciate rembordé for its ability to give straps a clean, durable appearance, especially those in alligator and calfskin. This technique involves folding and stitching the edge of the strap, ensuring greater resistance and an impeccable look. It is an essential choice for anyone seeking quality and longevity in their accessories. The rembordé finish not only improves the strap's appearance but also increases its durability, making it ideal for elegant, luxury watches. For Milano Straps straps, rembordé is synonymous with craftsmanship excellence and attention to detail.

Frequently asked questions
What is the advantage over a painted edge?
It offers greater protection against moisture and wear, as there is no exposed raw cut. The look is more luxurious and integrated, typical of fine watchmaking.
Is it more difficult to make?
Yes, it is one of the most complex techniques. It requires perfect skiving and precise gluing to avoid unwanted thickness and ensure a uniform curve.
How can you recognise a rembordé strap?
The edge is smooth and rounded, and the top leather appears to wrap around the inside of the strap without interruption. You cannot see the "sandwich" of the different leather layers as you can with a painted edge.
