Horween Derby Leather - "Pull-up" Effect
Horween Derby leather embodies the perfect blend of rugged craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Sourced from the renowned Horween tannery, founded in Chicago in 1905, this full-grain leather is the result of traditional vegetable tanning enriched with a generous blend of natural waxes and oils. This process gives the Derby a rich texture and a unique visual appearance, characterized by natural nuances and a characteristic pull-up effect.
Derby leather is distinguished by its rustic appearance and supple feel. Through a dry-milling process, it reveals subtle contrasts and a depth of tone that evolve over time. Each piece of Derby leather develops a distinctive patina, reflecting its history and use, making it a sought-after choice for luxury leather goods such as wallets and watch straps.
By choosing Horween Derby leather, our workshop is committed to offering its customers unique creations that combine tradition, quality, and durability. Each item made with this leather tells a story, that of ancestral know-how and a passion for excellence.

HOW TO MEASURE
A WATCH STRAP?
Would you like to entrust us with the making of a bespoke genuine leather watch strap, entirely handmade and hand-sewn in Belgium to equip your timepiece or that of a loved one? It is important to measure some dimensions.
The width of the lug: this dimension is measured at the level of the case of the watch (between the two « lugs ») where the strap strap comes to be fixed. The standard widths are most often: 18mm - 20mm - 22mm - 24mm.
The width of the loop: this dimension is measured inside the loop of your watch strap. The width of the buckle is usually 2mm or even 4mm narrower than the width of the lug and sometimes equal to the width of the lug for a straight watch strap.
The lengths of the two parts of your watch strap: the standard dimensions at Decoster are 115/75, 115mm for the long part and 75mm for the short part. Our atelier Decoster makes bespoke watch straps, so we can adapt these lengths to the dimensions of your choice: 105/65, 125/85, 120/70…
