Bordeaux Alligator Watch Strap | Handcrafted Leather Band 18–24mm

Bordeaux Alligator Leather Watch Strap — Handcrafted in Vietnam

Bordeaux sits at the intersection of richness and restraint — a deep wine red that commands attention without announcing itself. On genuine Nile alligator scales, the color takes on a depth that shifts subtly between burgundy and mahogany depending on the light, creating a strap that looks different at every hour of the day.

Hand-crafted at Salamcraft’s atelier in Vietnam, every scale is hand-selected for symmetry and the stitching is set with the kind of tension that only comes from doing it by hand. This is a strap built to outlast the watch it’s paired with.
