Thread: Custom Handmade Straps

    Custom Handmade Straps

    Just wondering if any one can recommend any affordable good quality strap makers? Either forum members or known makers out there with website, or instagram that I could contact if I was looking to have some straps made.

    Any help and advice appreciated please.

    Andrea from Martu Straps makes some lovely leather straps. Postage from Chile takes ages but worth the wait!

    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    There is a chap on eBay makes and sells straps. http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/pynchon63/

    I purchased a black leather 22mm strap from him and found him very helpful.
    Prices were pretty good as well.

    Had 4 of him this year, all nicely made and he has a great selection.


    This canvas strap he does is the most comfortable I have ever worn:

    Another vote for Pav79 on the forum. I took delivery of this strap that he made yesterday. The pictures really don't do it justice and it is extremely comfortable.....

    While I'm not a fan of brown straps on speedies the quality of that looks amazing. Once I've sorted a few things I think I'll be contacting Pav myself and getting a couple made.

    Another vote for Pavel. He made this strap for me to fit my Halios. Looks very well finished and it is extremely comfortable.

    Another vote for Steveostraps. I have had 5 from him over the last few years.

    Another recommendation for Pavel, I’ve had plenty of straps from him and have been very happy with all of them, he is now my first port of call.

    Also used Steveo which were very good.

    Murtu are nice straps but the wait can be a killer at often 4-6 weeks.

    I’ve been happy with straps from both Martu and Steveostraps.

    A lot depends on what type of strap you are looking for. Vintage? Dress? Exotic leathers?

    Thanks guys, some great suggestions. It’s more of the vintage and robust leather look I’m looking for?
