Accepted Answer

A natural vegetable-tanned leather strap maintains optimum performance for 18-24 months of daily use, depending on humidity exposure and maintenance. Shell cordovan straps can last 3-4 years thanks to superior fibre density. The natural patina developed over time adds aesthetic value. To extend useful life, dry the strap after prolonged moisture exposure and store away from direct heat sources.
