How is a Hermès leather strap crafted - Part 2

[@tracephoto1823]

Not only is it amazing it see the craftsmanship, but to watch her do this with those fingernails is absolutely incredible!

Great upload, thanks! I must have watched this video 500 times when it first came out, it really helped me design and create ideas for watch straps for my leather business. Thank you for sharing it with us! :D

That's really cool to hear and all the best to you!

[@MrJeronimo94]

I love that they all wear some sort of Hermès product!

[@watchestv-com]

You have a good eye!

[@HFSswfl]

You get what you pay for!!! Amazing craftsmanship

[@watchestv-com]

That's right!

You can get the same thing and same quality on Etsy for less than $400 (leather, handmade and all).

@@hannahlevin3286 Better than Hermes costs 150$ and all handmade. I sold some for apple watch.

The ones on Etsy are nice; they’re hand-cut, shaped and burnished, but are they finished with hand-stitched where the thread is locked at the stress-points? The ones I ordered from Etsy don’t appear finished with hand-stitching.

I dont get it. At 0:54 why did she first apply the edge paint and then creased the strap? The whole thing flaked so bad. I mean I am just an amateur, but does someone know why the steps arent reversed? I would have creased the strap and applied the edge paint after. Thank you.

[@hehehehahaha3150]

maybe it’s the first coating of paint.

Beautiful care and attention.

I'm intrigued by the desktop sewing clam.

Schòne Handarbeit Nur so wie die Frau die Schlaufe Nàht ist nicht Gut Ich mache seit 30 Jahren Sattler aber so habe Ich noch nie eine Schlaufe Genàht, mùsste Sie Bei einem Sattler abschauen :-) aber sonst Super Arbeit ( benutzen den Gleichen Faden wie Ich Barbour )

I know how to make a 20 dollar watchstrap. I need to know how to sell it for 500 :D

[@michigancane4883]

you can't because you made a $20 watch strap

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

at last, she worked hard. Many individual artisans make better than Hermes. Even I make with Cordovan leather and they are the best for any leather products.

[@SonicMarmalade]

So they get some leather, punch some holes in it, sew it up, and charge an obscene amount of money for it. Sending humans to mars, or brain surgery, this is not.

[@watchestv-com]

Yes, but it's Hermès ;)

[@markuseriksson8311]

Didn't you watch the video? Did you miss that it takes one hour of work per strap just to get its finish?

[@fabriciogiampietro7029]

Markus Eriksson yes, and how much is she paid per hour? Hermés is just way off. I work with leather

[@markuseriksson8311]

Fabricio Giampietro Wouldn't surprise me if it's $20 an hour so it's not that wierd

[@psidhu1979]

No no I think with due respect you have completely missed the point here man.. Hermes is the epitome of leather works and their techniques and tools and the skills make it really expensive!
