Simona is the best!

I know a lot of us struggle to find good strap maker. I tried a lot of different strap makers from all over the world but after I got my last shipment from Simona, I am done searching.
Simona makes really good quality straps. I wanted to share some pictures with you.

The one on 372 is Bruno Allegrini Diver strap
The one on 233 is Museum exhibit

both straps are from Simona's special edition collection.

Nice and varied selection.

I have one strap so far from her - the vintage burgundy gator. One of my favorites.

Simona straps are nice but some are quite stiff. There are other great custom strap makers also.

Honestly I don't know the name for the blue one. I asked Simona to put something together for 376 and she send me that one. I didn't see it in her site.
