Located in Germany's Bavarian Forest, Fluco manufactures 100% in-house at its headquarters in the town of Furth im Wald. Owner Ulrich Fleischmann represents the third generation of his family to lead the company that his grandfather founded more than 70 years ago, producing handmade watch straps of the highest quality for men and women.
Fluco carefully vets every partner they collaborate with. When sourcing strap material they work only with companies that produce ecologically and ethically responsible goods, complying with the strictest regulations to ensure environmental safety and exercising verifiable control from the origin of the raw material to the end product. Fluco's buckles are made entirely in Germany, at a traditional company in Baden Württemberg that tasks itself with producing premium clasps for watch straps.
Fluco's 100% vegan Canvas strap is made by hand in Germany from sturdy cotton canvas. During production of the fabric, the warp (vertical) thread is woven closely crosswise with the weft (horizontal) thread, ensuring that the front and back are identical. This soft and supple strap is coated with a water-repellent, almost rubber-like finish. It has fine tone-on-tone quilting machine seaming.
I was surprised by the quality of the strap. It's very comfortable and good-looking. Buckle is a bit generic, but it's easy to correct. Overall, great summer strap.
Great watch band! The quality of the material is very apparent as soon as you open the package— it’s great!
Very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this strap for the price. Not too thin, not too thick, and pleasantly soft to the touch. The stitching also looks perfect, and the material has a smooth feel to it like it's been waxed. I would describe the color more as a gray-green, which I'm fine with since it matches perfectly with my DIY Seiko mod build. I appreciate that it's not leather lined, because I wanted a strap that I could sweat in without worrying about ruining any leather. It is a bit stiff, but that's fine by me, I like the feel of a well broken-in strap. After just a few days of wearing it, it has already softened up quite a bit. Finally, big thanks to Holben's, who shipped the strap within hours of placing the order.
I’ve been looking for a nice darker gray (but not too dark) canvas band for my SKX. This fits the bill! It’s very stiff, but I imagine it will ease up over time. It came with extra springbars, but I used some big ‘ole fat boys I had on hand since it’s on the stiffer side.
Maybe it's the 'vegan' canvas, but there's a strange tacky texture to this strap. Not really sure how to describe it. Apart from that, the strap is very well made. I am a big fan of Fluco in general.
Love this strap! I have it on my "bed" watch which doubles as my utilitarian/emergency watch, so I wanted a strap that was comfortable, durable, and water repellent. This ticks all those boxes! Very comfortable, great quality feel (the coating on it that makes it water repellent feels very nice kind of like its rubberized), color is gorgeous, and I feel it is going to last quite some time. I would pay $75+ for a strap like this. Glad that Fluco takes pride in their products!
As another reviewer mentioned, there is some coating applied to the canvas strap. I am not sure if it’s waxed or some other material. It doesn’t detract from this strap at all.
Really love the strap. Very well made for the price. Plus, Holbens is really fast in getting the order to you.
