CentaurStraps Online Store - Grand Opening

CentaurStraps Store - Handmade watch straps and other leather goods

During the last two months I was preparing my online store, yes things get serious now! I've developed everything myself and now that it's ready to go public I'm quite happy with the site. I will have two basic watch strap lines, the Urban Line and the Vintage Line. Also a number of watch accessories and other leather goods will be available.

The grand opening is set for Saturday August 31 and it's a fresh start for me on so many levels. I'm really excited!

The web store address is: https://centaurstraps.com (will be live on Saturday).

I will keep posting content here but I highly recommend you to check my website from now on, I also have a blog there for all the news, updates, offers etc.

Take care,
Costas

Coming up: Vintage sun tanned leather watch strap

I'm working on a new leather watch strap using a piece of veg tanned leather shoulder as a base. The basic characteristic of this leather is that it's full of scars and marks which will add a lot of character to the end result. I really love it!

I have already treated it with neatsfoot oil and some conditioners based on wax. I will leave it in natural color and not dye it at all, since it already got a cool light brown color. I think I will do minimal stitching on this. Here are some sneak peaks!
