Designed and made in France.
The Saffiano strap from Molequin takes its cues from traditional leatherwork, where texture is used to add structure rather than decoration. The fine crosshatch pattern gives it a precise, tailored look that suits clean dials and well-proportioned cases, especially dress watches and modern classics. Made in France.
Saffiano leather is a full-grain calfskin defined by its distinctive crosshatch surface. The texture is created by hot-pressing the leather, which seals the surface and gives it a crisp profile and clean edges rather than a soft or pliable drape. With wear, the leather gradually becomes more comfortable while retaining its shape and color.
Saffiano leather was originally developed in 1913 by Italian luxury leather designer Mario Prada and is known for its elegant texture and structured appearance. Since the expiration of the original patent, the material has been adopted widely in high-end leather goods and accessories.

Splash only, avoid soaking and prolonged water exposure.
Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid leather cleaners or conditioners, which may darken or affect the grain. Keep away from prolonged moisture and direct sunlight. If damp, dry with a soft cloth and allow to air dry fully.
