Definition
A leather-working technique in which the leather is cut and its lateral edges shaped to create straps with distinctive thicknesses and profiles. This artisanal method produces elegant finishes and a superior fit on the wrist, a distinctive feature of high-quality straps.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a side-cut strap and a standard one?
A side-cut strap has lateral edges shaped and worked with precision, offering greater elegance, comfort and a better fit on the wrist compared with straps with standard straight edges.
Is this technique suitable for all types of leather?
Side-cutting is ideal for higher-quality leathers, particularly vegetable-tanned and full-grain leathers, which allow this artisanal work to be shown off to its full advantage.
How long does this process take?
The side-cut technique requires additional time compared with standard production, as every detail is carefully finished by hand by our craftsman.
