Leather strips - Leather laces - Leather straps
Leather laces and strips are used as jewellery or as driving belts. They can be cut in very different ways (see videos below). They can be cut round or into strips along a straight line. The round cutting gives a very long strip. Leather strips are therefore also sold by length. Cut with a simple knife the strips have an angular shape. With special machines, the square edges of the strips are rounded and are then round strips. Wide strips or laces are called straps. There is no clear definition for the transition.
