BUND XL VINTAGE HERMES SADDLE 22/18
It doesn’t get better than this; a Bund Xl that I made from a 50+ year old vintage Hermes rigging saddle, which I purchased in 2014 in Santa Barbara and took apart for a couple of these projects. I added warm contrast stitching and painted the edges cream color for a subtle contrast. The rich brown tones of this strap out of this world, the slight crackling of the leather, the pores, the golden undertones, it truly has authentic vintage written all over it!
It wil accept larger watches with 22mm Lugs and 18mm buckle. Lining is a deep golden French calf skin.
Even though I used 4-5 layers to construct this strap, I kept it relatively low profile to reduce the bulk on the wrist.
It is a relatively newly made strap and has never been worn - I doubt that I will make another one that is this beautiful, one of my favorites for sure!
Additional features: Contrast stitching and cream hand painted edges, two wide keepers. Sized for 22mm lugs and 18mm buckle, it will a regular wrist of about 7.25 inches.
