The company's hand-stitched leather and vegan straps feature distinctive treatments and are designed and made entirely and exclusively in Italy using Italian materials. Every ColaReb product is one-of-a-kind, and as with any authentically handmade artisanal creation, slight imperfections and tonal variations add to the charm and rustic appeal of each unique piece.

HOW OTHERS ARE PAIRING IT
Bought this for a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (40mm silver version) and wore it every day for a couple of weeks or so. The watch has 20mm lugs, so that's the version I got. With my wrist and the size of the watch, I end up using the fourth hole from the lug.
So far, it seems sturdy and comfortable, although the buckle feels kind of flimsy. It's a rather tight fit in the lugs for this particular watch, but I was able to squeeze it in and make it fit. Maybe with time and wear, it might improve. I think it fits the watch's look well enough (depending on the watch face, of course): I hoped to make it look a bit less like a smartwatch than with the original strap, and I think it achieves that goal as well as any strap can. Don't get me wrong, it still looks very much like a tech product, but that can't really be helped due to the design Samsung chose.
Picked up an EcoSuede vegan strap to replace the stock strap on my Dan Henry 1970. It elevates the watch,
is comfortable on wrist and looks 100% like leather suede. I can't help wonder what else is possible with this
approach, croc, lizard, ostrich etc.
Very nice quality, durability and comfort. I got the 20mm in rust for an old Timex Weekender
Beautiful brown synthetic suede in 16mm, a rare find for those who want a cruelty-free strap for their smaller watches.
As of now I've worn this for several weeks and it still feels just like day one. It feels lightweight and breathable in a way that leather simply can't. A perfect summer strap for when you don't want an overly sporty look.
The title says it all. The color and finish are a perfect complement to my watch.
I'd rather give this 4.5 stars, but rounding down to 4 didn't seem fair so 5 it is.
Overall it is a great strap. Stitching is high quality, it is thin and flexible. The pile of the suede is rather low and seems like it will age well, but I have no idea as its the first vegan suede I've ever had. It is also very light and the color is accurate to the website pics.
Cons: (these are minor) It is a long strap. I have 7.25" wrists, and this is a large watch (51mm L2L) and yet I am on the 2nd or 3rd hole. The way the 1st protector ring is placed the tang of the buckle almost always gets stuck under it when I remove the watch. It also seems a little expensive, but I guess that is due to the vegan part (which I don't care about, just liked the color / style and it came recommended).
I like the strap a lot and would recommend it.
