Angelo Pelle Leather Strap

Hand-make in Italy

How many time when you check the bottom of the items you purchase or going to purchase says Make in China? Almost everything in the world is Make in China, not that they are poor quality or something. My iPhone is make in China, my MacBook Air is also make in China. What happen to all the olden days hand make crafts that are pass down thru generations? Here is something hand make, not machine made, not make in China but Italy.

Angelo Pelle, a handcraft company based in Florence, are all hand work following a tradition lasting from hundreds of years. Hand made by some of the most skilled Italian artisans with more then 30 years of experience in this field, with the best tuscan naturally tanned leather (the same one is used by italian and french high fashion brands). Each half case/strap requires one day of work, all process is carefully handmade, the bottom of the case is stitched by hands (not glued to the upper part).

A small pad at the extremely of the wrist strap protect the camera from any scratch.

Vegetable Tanned Leather:
This type of natural tanning proess uses tannin extracted from plants (mimosa, chestnut, quebracho, tara, etc etc). Vegetable tannage is a very old procedure dating back to prehistoric period, a very slow process wich is considered an art. The formulas used by each tuscan tannery is a well kept secret, a result of a careful blending of Tuscan culture and knowledge, passed down through the years from father to son.
Each skin is unique: this uniqueness means that it does not have a uniform appearance, which represents the leather quality. The exclusive material is subject to the same wear as the person who use our half cases, the skin will gradually acquires that worn look who every person get with the life.

A Classic hand made Wrist straps with best vegetable tanned leather.

A beautiful leather strap, which will enhance the look of any camera while keeping it securely tied to your wrist. It's also immensely soft, I like the idea of the protective pad which slips between the camera body and the metal loop, ensuring your camera will never get scratched. That's why I choose to use it on my Olympus OM-D E-M10 mark II.
