22mm Alligator-Embossed Watch Strap Blue Hand-Patinated AREZZO PATINO

Blue is rare on an alligator pattern

Alligator embossing comes almost always in brown or black. Blue changes how the pattern reads: the scales no longer try to imitate an exotic hide, they become a deliberate design. That is what makes this colourway interesting, and also what makes it honest.

Hand patina on embossed leather

Each scale is patinated by hand, which hollows the joints and gives relief to what embossing leaves flat. It is that work, not the embossing, that makes the price of the piece. Semi-matt finish, clean side cut, 4 mm tapering padding.
