bespoke strap service

Welcome to our bespoke watch strap service. Here, you can begin customising a hand-made leather strap tailored to your taste and personality.
Made by our leatherworker, Abbie, in our satellite studio in Linlithgow, a single strap can take several days to complete, and is markedly distinct from its mass produced counterparts. From the initial planning stage, to refining the last detail, our Bespoke service explores one of the oldest heritage crafts, valuing the time, skills and materials that go into each and every watch strap.
The end result is a labour of love; a personal strap, thoughtfully and authentically hand-crafted to complement your watch.
This service is designed for anOrdain watches while remaining independent of our main waiting list. Bespoke Straps take a minimum of six weeks from ordering a sample box and are shipped separately from watches. For information on caring for your strap, please visit our leather care page.

The process

There are four steps in the Bespoke process:
1. Sample box
We know that colours and textures can look different on screen and in person, which is why we offer a sample box as the first stage in the process. From ordering, your sample box will arrive within three weeks.
2. Order form
When you are ready to order your Bespoke strap, proceed to the order form, where you will have the chance to customise each element of the design. You will then receive a confirmation e-mail with an overview of your choices. Abbie will review your order and contact you if any extra detail is needed. 
3. Message from the maker
Midway through, Abbie will share an update and photos of your strap in progress.
4. Delivery
Abbie will package and post your strap, a minimum of six weeks from ordering the sample box.

Each sample box contains:

  • Up to ten chosen leather swatches 
  • Three edging samples
  • Eighteen stitch colours 
  • A measuring tape

Leather selection

We work with the highest quality leather, sourced from respected tanneries including Horween, Badalassi Carlo and Haas. These leathers have been carefully chosen for their grain classification, durability, comfort and appearance. Samples will give a very good idea of the final result; however, as leather is a natural material, the final strap may show slight differences.
Please select ten choices for your sample box:
