The person behind
Straps and Stories.

Straps and Stories is part shop, part diary: the straps I make and the watches I wear. The watches on this site are all from my own collection.

I design each strap in Hong Kong, and it’s made by hand in my own workshop in Indonesia. I import the leather and hand-pick it myself, so I know which animal it came from and which part of it you’re wearing.

Nothing is made until you order it. The cut, the colour, the stitching and the padding are yours to choose.

Not sure yet? Ask me anything, or ask for something you don’t see here. I answer every message myself, within one to two business days.

One topic a week.

Get to know our fourteen leathers, one week at a time. See the straps on our own watches and learn about each cut.
