Since 2017, Thomas Artisan Straps has operated as a small independent workshop in Sitges, Spain, making handmade leather watch straps for collectors around the world.

Each strap is made to order, one piece at a time — from selecting the leather to cutting, shaping, stitching, finishing, and confirming the final proportions.

A SMALL WORKSHOP IN SITGES, SPAIN

Every strap is made by hand. I do not mass produce or outsource production. Each order is approached individually, with attention to the watch, the wrist, the leather, and how the strap will age over time.

Natural markings, grain variation, texture, patina, and tonal depth are part of the leather. They are not defects — they are part of what gives handmade leather goods their character.

BUILT FOR PROPORTION, COMFORT, AND WEAR

Leather quality is only part of the equation. Width, length, taper, thickness, stitching, edge finish, and buckle choice all affect how a strap feels on the wrist and balances with the watch.

Each strap is tailored to the watch model, wrist size, preferred fit, and style.

FOR COLLECTORS WHO CARE ABOUT DETAILS

Thomas Artisan Straps is for people who appreciate full-grain leather, hand stitching, the shape of a keeper, the way a strap breaks in, and the balance between watch case and wrist.

The goal is not to make the loudest strap, but the right one — considered, personal, and built to last.

ABOUT THOMAS

My name is Thomas Warburton, founder and artisan behind Thomas Artisan Straps. I founded the workshop in 2017 after years of working with my hands and developing an eye for detail, rhythm, balance, and craft.

Alongside my leatherwork, I work professionally as a jazz double bassist and continue to perform regularly. That background influences how I approach strap making: timing, touch, restraint, and proportion all matter.

Photography is also part of how I present the work. With the exception of customer review photos, the images on this site are taken by me. I want the photographs to show the leather honestly — its texture, colour, stitching, patina, and detail.

Every strap that leaves my workshop is made by me, by hand.
