Small scale

IT: squama piccola

Definition

A leather-working technique that involves applying small scales, usually from fish or reptile, onto which a decorative texture is created. This treatment gives the strap a refined appearance and a particular luminosity, enhancing the natural grain of the material with dynamic visual effects depending on the angle of the light.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between small scale and large scale?

Small scale offers a more delicate, refined texture, ideal for elegant straps, while large scale creates a bolder, more pronounced effect, perfect for sportier styles.
