Rembordé - Folded Edge
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 watch straps a clean and durable appearance, especially those in alligator and calf leather. This technique involves folding and stitching the edge of the watch strap, ensuring greater resistance and impeccable aesthetics. It is an essential choice for those seeking quality and longevity in their accessories. The rembordé finish not only improves the appearance of the watch strap but also increases its durability, making it ideal for elegant and luxury watches. For Milano Straps watch straps, rembordé is synonymous with artisanal excellence and attention to detail.

Frequently asked questions
What is the advantage compared to edge dyeing?
It offers greater protection against moisture and wear, since there is no exposed raw edge. The appearance is more luxurious and seamless, typical of haute horlogerie.
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 uniform curvature.
How do you recognize a folded edge watch strap?
The edge is smooth and rounded, and the top leather appears to wrap around the inside of the strap without interruption. You do not see the "sandwich" of different leather layers as with edge dyeing.
The next step
