Give your timepiece a serious upgrade with the Genuine Horween Shell Cordovan Leather Watch Strap from Wrist Envy. Designed for the serious watch collector, this strap is all about rare materials, traditional tanning methods and a timeless, understated look that never goes out of fashion. Made by hand from Wrist Envy using 100% authentic Shell Cordovan leather from the legendary Horween Leather Company in Chicago, USA, this strap is the real deal – one of the finest leathers you'll find in a luxury watch accessory.

Horween Shell Cordovan is renowned worldwide for its deep, natural shine, exceptional durability and unique aging characteristics. It's not just a special leather, it's a premium one – unlike standard cowhide, it's cut from the dense fibrous 'shell' that lies just under the hide of the horse rump. And then there's the way it's tanned... a traditional process that can take up to six months to complete, involving slow vegetable tanning, hot-stuffing with natural oils & waxes, hand dyeing & a whole lot of careful finishing. This labour-intensive approach produces a leather that's seriously smooth, glossy, highly resistant to creasing, and develops an amazing, reflective patina over time.
