SKU: 101-LB-RED-16-ST
Red is not a neutral color. It requires a conscious choice, a certain confidence in wearing it on your wrist. Italian nappa leather has this rare ability: to soften the boldness of the color with a smooth, almost silky surface that doesn't scream but gets noticed.
Tanned in Italy, this leather combines a fine grain with natural flexibility that quickly adapts to the wrist, requiring no break-in period. The red remains vibrant over time—it doesn't fade with the first change of season. It works equally well on a work watch as it does on a weekend watch: it's the kind of strap that transitions between contexts without losing coherence.
Each piece of nappa leather is slightly different from the next. Minor color variations compared to the images are not imperfections—they are the signature of natural leather.

It starts firm and, week after week, takes the shape of your wrist. The surface grows warmer to the touch, the colour gains depth where the light hits it. No plastic on top: leather that ages honestly.

Chosen for you
There are two stock sizes: 16mm at the case and 14mm at the buckle, or 18mm at the case and 16mm at the buckle. The length is the same for both: 115mm on the case side, 75mm on the buckle side. Let me know your watch and I'll indicate the right size for you.
No. The nappa is already soft on its own and adapts to the wrist right away. You don't need to do anything, just wear it.
The colour stays consistent. I've seen it go through changes of season without losing intensity. It's not a leather that fades with first use.
It works on both fronts. I fit it on work watches and on weekend watches, the red doesn't clash in either context.
That's normal, every hide of nappa I work with has small colour variations. It's not a defect, it's the nature of the leather: no piece is identical to another.
