The quintessential brown 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.
Note: Fauve Barenia is slightly darker in shade than tan Barenia. We are discontinuing tan Barenia and will only stock up on Fauve.
I'm no stranger to high end leather products, and came to the realization that a hefty price tag does not necessary equate quality. Delugs's strap is beautifully done and finished + the smell of new leather is heavenly. Highly recommended. Order shipped fast, that's a bonus.
Nice leather. Fit very well with my watch
Great, soft, comfortable to use
I love straps for my watches because they provide more of a flexibility for my tiny wrist. I usually buy straps from local makers and only gave Delugs a try recently. I'm glad I did! I have been considering seller my Explorer for a while but after putting on the Tan Barenia strap, it basically got a new life and I don't think I wanna sell it anymore. The strap is extremely well constructed with super supple leather! For sure, I will be placing a lot more orders. I'm a fan boy now :)
Nice quality and delivered well within promised time. Good attention to detail and photographs are representative of the actual item. If there is anything to nitpick at all would be that the cushioning on the strap is a little thin, but thats really nitpicking right now. All in all very happy with my purchase.
