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.
Delugs is my preferred strap maker. As usual the strap that they delivered was here faster than they said it would be and it is of high quality. That is what I have come to expect with these Delugs straps. High quality straps delivered in a timely manner.
This isn't my first strap from delugs but I've always been impressed by their quick service and response times. I bought the fauve barenia to match my Loewe puzzle bag and it has been lovely. It has given my JLC Reverso duetto a very different look and is so versatile.
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
