CITES Certification
Definition
CITES Certification is fundamental for those who, like me, favour straps made with exotic leathers. This international regulation ensures that the materials used come from legal and sustainable sources, protecting endangered species. For a collector, knowing that a strap complies with CITES means having the certainty of an ethical purchase. The history of CITES dates back to 1973, when it was established to regulate trade in flora and fauna at risk. Today, it is a point of reference for those seeking quality and sustainability in materials. Milano Straps straps, for example, comply with these regulations, offering a range of options for those who wish to combine passion with environmental responsibility. For those looking for straps in exotic leathers, measurements vary to suit different watch models. Want to feel the grain on your wrist?
