Maglia milanese

Milano Straps Glossary

Maglia milanese is a metal bracelet, not a leather strap. It is a dense mesh of woven gold or steel wire: flexible, it follows the wrist.

I do not make it. My trade is leather. It is in this glossary because anyone looking for a strap comes across it, and it helps to know what it is.
