Leather straps

Leather straps are used as jewellery or as driving belts. Leather straps are either cut as a snail from an animal skin from outside to the centre or cut into strips along a straight line. The round cutting gives a very long strap. Leather straps are therefore also sold in length. Cut with a simple knife the straps have an angular shape. With special machines, the square edges of the straps are rounded and are then round straps.
