Selected leathers
Ostrich leather is not chosen to follow a trend. It's chosen because every inch tells a different story—the quills, the irregular textures, the tones that change with the light. In pink, this character is amplified: it's not a neutral color, it's a precise statement.
Each strap is crafted from the belly of the ostrich, the most prized part of the hide, where the follicles are most pronounced and the softness most evident. No two pieces are identical. Variation is the product, not a defect.
Production takes place entirely in Italy. The slim thickness—2.5mm—makes it versatile for cases of various profiles, without adding unnecessary bulk to the wrist.

The quills that make it unique.
Its raised follicles are never two alike: you recognise it at a glance. Soft and resilient at once, with natural oils it stays supple and gains sheen where the wrist works it.

Frequently Asked Questions
But how does pink hold up over time? Does it tend to fade or maintain that tone?
Ostrich leather, like any natural leather, evolves with use and light exposure. It is not a synthetic dye that fades uniformly — the pink develops a personal patina over time. What happens depends on how you wear it: more sun, the color softens; more protection, the initial character remains. Variability is part of the game with ostrich.
Those papillae you mention — do they stay intact or wear away with daily use?
The papillae are structures of the leather itself, not applied to the surface. They do not wear away — they remain the distinctive character of the strap throughout its life. What can happen is that natural wear slightly modifies tactile perception in high-contact zones, but the texture stays intact. It is robust leather, despite its softness.
If I take the 18mm, what compatibility do I have with watches? That is, which cases does it really work on?
18mm is the lug width — where it enters the case. Compatibility depends on your cases — if they have 18mm lugs, the strap fits. The 2.5mm thickness is contained, so it does not add excessive bulk even on compact profiles. But I cannot tell you which specific models it works on: it depends on your watch. What I can say is that the reduced thickness makes it versatile across different cases without strain.
Will two pieces from the same batch still have different textures? Or does that only happen between productions far apart in time?
Already within the same batch. Each ostrich leather has its own landscape — the calami, the irregularities, the tones change zone to zone, animal to animal. It is not variation between old and new, it is intrinsic variation of the material. If you buy two pink 18mm straps tomorrow, side by side they will still have different character. That is exactly what happens with premium leathers — and here it is intentional, not random.
Does ostrich require particular treatments to not deteriorate, or can I use it like a normal strap?
It is natural leather, so common sense applies: avoid prolonged immersion and dry it if wet. Beyond that, it requires no special rituals. Ostrich leather is actually robust — it is chosen precisely because it lasts. Ordinary maintenance is that of any quality leather: not negligence, but not obsession either. A strap you live with, not one you pamper.
