The quintessential leather strap. Barenia leather from Haas tannery in France is widely used by Hermes, and Hermes doesn't just choose any leather to use. It only uses the best. This is the same Barenia that Apple uses for its Apple Watch strap, and Hermes for its Birkin bag.
Barenia leather is soft and supple, with just the right firmness. It has a very smooth surface, with just a tiny bit of gloss. Closer inspection can reveal the beautiful grain on this leather. It has moderate scratch resistance which means you don't need to baby the strap. Small scratches can be buffed out with just some slight rubbing. This also means that Barenia is able to develop a beautiful patina that results in a slight darkening of the leather with use.
Got one of these and was amazed by the quality of it. I have a similar Hermes straps for the Apple watch and it feels the same!
The stitching of the strap is top notch, and smell of leather is amazing! I like that the offering comes in a variety of sizes to cater to smaller cases. It should be a standard for all straps to come with quick release spring bars, such as the ones that Delugs produce. Great product!
This is my 3rd strap from delugs and the leather is certainly premium in feel and so far in performance. My only negative comment is that the two straps designed to keep the tail in place are very thin and sometimes fold on themselves when trying to secure the tail.
Best quality and stitching !
Great quality strap that fit the wrist really well. Would suggest those with smaller wrists going for the size S instead of the M if adding a deployment clasp.
