FOUNDATION
Same Apple Watch. A whole new feel.
Your Apple Watch works just as hard at the office as it does at the gym. Your strap can change with the occasion. Keep silicone for your workouts and switch to handcrafted leather for a more classic, considered look.
I make each Apple Watch strap from a single piece of 2.5 mm full-grain leather from Tärnsjö Garveri. No glued-on lining or unnecessary layers. Just substantial vegetable-tanned leather that softens and moulds to your wrist with wear.
I cut and stitch every strap by hand in my workshop in Älmhult, Sweden, using durable Tiger thread. Over time, the leather develops a beautiful patina. Small marks and changes in colour become part of its character.
Your strap comes with adapters for your Apple Watch, so you can switch between leather and silicone without tools. Made for years of wear, it’s backed by my lifetime warranty.
Choose your leather colour, strap size, Apple Watch model and hardware colour. I’ll handcraft your strap especially for you.

Four colours. The same careful craftsmanship.
Find your colour.
From light natural leather to classic black, choose a colour that suits your style, your shoes or your favourite belt. A leather strap gives your Apple Watch a fresh look, developing a character of its own as you wear it.
For those who love watching leather age. Natural starts light and gradually develops a deeper, warmer tone. Of the four colours, it shows the changes from daily wear most clearly. Choose it for a warm, natural look and a patina that becomes your own.
The versatile choice. A warm, classic brown that works as well with jeans and a T-shirt as it does with a shirt and jacket. It gives your Apple Watch a more traditional feel without looking overly formal. If you want one leather strap for most occasions, brown is my first recommendation.
Classic, understated and elegant. Dark Brown gives your Apple Watch a smarter feel without looking too formal. It pairs naturally with darker clothing, brown leather shoes and a classic wardrobe. Its patina develops more subtly than on the lighter colours.
Clean, simple and timeless. Black leather gives your Apple Watch an understated look that works from the office to dinner out. Easy to wear with almost any wardrobe, it gradually softens and develops a subtle sheen.
Find your fit
Choosing your size is simple.
You usually won’t need to measure your wrist. Use your current original Apple strap as a guide: if you wear the shorter S/M strap, choose Standard. If you wear the longer M/L strap, choose Long.
S/M
If you currently wear Apple’s shorter S/M strap, choose Standard — the shorter of my two leather strap sizes.
Strap lengths: 120 + 70 mm
M/L
If you currently wear Apple’s longer M/L strap, choose Long. It offers the extra length you’re used to with Apple’s longer strap.
Strap lengths: 135 + 80 mm
No longer have your original strap, or unsure about sizing? Send me your wrist measurement before ordering and I’ll help you choose.
ÄLMHULT, SWEDEN
One craftsman. One workshop. Everything made by hand.
Palsjö is a one-man workshop in Älmhult, a small town in the Småland region of Sweden. Every product is made by one person — me. My name is Mano. I cut the leather, I assemble it, I finish it and I send it to you.
This is not a romantic idea. It is about accountability. When the same person does everything, there is no one else to blame if something falls short. Every item that leaves this workshop carries my name — and that is how I want it to stay.
Products from Palsjö are made to be repaired, not replaced. Every technique used in this workshop, from hand cutting to edge burnishing, was learned the slow way, through years of trial and correction, not a course or a certificate. That kind of skill shows in the smallest details most people never notice but somehow always feel. The leather is built to last a lifetime, and the warranty reflects exactly that.
