This handmade strap is constructed with elbamatt—a gorgeous full-grain leather made from cowhide. This leather is sustainably processed in Tuscany using the traditional vegetable tanning method. That means it's all-natural and biodegradable. Once the leather has been prepped, each strap is individually cut and assembled by hand in a craft workshop in Northern Italy.

The 4 Types of Elbamatt Finishes

ᕯ "Natural" - No oil is used in the finishing process, giving the straps a classic and natural look.

ᕯ "Oiled" - Each strap is lightly oiled in the final step to protect the leather and enhance color. 

ᕯ "Pull-Up" - Each strap is finished with specialty oils. These oils will gather in the creases of the leather — which will create gorgeous color variations and lines over time.

ᕯ "Vintage" -  Each strap is put through a brushing machine one by one. This creates darker halos on the leather which give the straps a vintage look.
