Taupe Saffiano Signature (Curved) Strap

Saffiano leather is extremely popular amongst mainstream fashion. Even if you don't know its name, you probably have seen it before. It's an embossed pattern that has very pronounced and uniform grain. The scratch and water resistance of Saffiano is amongst the best there is.

Excerpt from Strap Guide by Eric: "For decades, saffiano leather was used exclusively by the design house Prada, who had patented it in the early 1900’s. However, when the patent expired around the 90’s, other makers now had access to this durable, water resistant, scratch resistant, wonder leather. I personally love the material for the way that it catches light so beautifully, the sheen giving it a very dressy feel. Taupe is also just such a great colour. Is it grey? Is it brown? It’s both and I think it pairs well with either."

Excerpt from Strap Guide by Majd: "The big selling point of Saffiano is clear: the signature cross-hatch pattern gives it a high level of scratch and water resistance. The colour Taupe, on the other hand, is a bit of a mystery to me. Under some lighting conditions, it appears beige-brown. Other times, it appears closer to stone gray. When the Sun is out in full force, it turns dark cream… Taupe is a true chameleon of the watch strap colour wheel. So what do you get when you combine Saffiano leather with this shade of taupe? A strap that you can wear to dress up an informal outfit, or dress down a more formal outfit, all while not having to worry too much about its ability to keep up."
