    Custom Watch Straps

    For some years now my go to for custom watch straps has been Camille Fournet, quality and service have always been excellent. However just tried to order an alligator strap and it seems they no longer supply UK with exotic leathers. I imagine this must be due to cites regulations, we always had this issue with the US. I have bought watches from the US before and they removed the strap prior to sending to avoid the whole watch being confiscated at customs.

    Does anyone know if there is a UK based supplier of custom alligator straps, or some other way to get them now?

    Could Brexit be a factor?

    Equus Leather in County Durham is worth having a look at. They made a lovely replacement alligator strap for my Zenith. Not cheap but very highly recommended.

    The Strap Tailor does ostrich leg, which looks-wise I think is a nice alternative to alligator.

    I've been shouting the straps made by heritageleather straps, can be found on facebook. Not UK, but European made to your requests.
