Handcrafted Leather Bracelet »Amsterdam Blue«

Custom-sized and made-to-order, this unique biker style bracelet is crafted from premium full grain leather, also known as pull-up leather. This durable, long-lasting leather has been treated with oils and waxes during its tanning process, making it extremely soft and supple, in spite of the rugged, vintage appearance it is famous for.

The »Amsterdam Blue« bracelet features a cool, timeless design, adding an intriguingly edgy, avant-garde vibe to your style. No matter whether you prefer punk, rock, or minimalist chic, with its three decorative cross-shaped rivets, inspired by the Amsterdam coat-of-arms, this unisex wristband is a striking accessory that goes with a wide variety of outfits.

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF THE »AMSTERDAM« LEATHER BRACELET

Artisan Craftsmanship: Handmade-to-measure from sustainable, vegetable-tanned full-grain cowhide.
Unique Aesthetic: Bold, avant-garde rivet design drawing inspiration from the Amsterdam city flag.
Deep Meaning: The triple St. Andrew's Cross symbol carries a history of protection, bravery, and courage.

When Style and Symbolism go Hand in Hand

Cross symbols have always carried a very powerful, almost mystical meaning and were used in different contexts in many cultures around the world. The X-shaped St. Andrew's Cross, historically honoring the Apostle Andrew, stands for protection and courage, the capacity to accept and master challenges. You can still find it on many national flags, such as those of Scotland or Jamaica, and – maybe most famously – on Amsterdam’s city flag and coat of arms, featured prominently all over the city.

Whether you love the »Triple X« design basically for its cool, distinctive look, or for its ancient meaning and symbolism: With this handcrafted genuine leather wristband you are certain to leave a lasting impression!

NEED HELP FINDING THE CORRECT SIZE?

Use a tailor's measuring tape or a strip of paper and wrap it around your wrist to determine your wrist circumference (or wrist girth). If you use paper, make a mark where the strip overlaps. Measure from that mark to the end of the paper, and you will have your wrist circumference. Now, add an extra 1.5 to 2 inches (4 to 5 centimeters) to that measurement. This is your desired bracelet size, which depends on how tight or loose you prefer the fit.

EXAMPLE

If you measured a wrist circumference of 16 centimeters and prefer a rather snug fit, add 4 centimeters and order a 20-centimeter bracelet. If you prefer a slightly looser fit, add an extra centimeter, and order a 21-centimeter bracelet.
If you are uncertain or want a little more sizing flexibility, you can also opt to add a dual snap closure for comfortable size adjustment.

Material & Info

Pull-Up Leather

This is a long-lasting full-grain leather that has been treated with oils and waxes during its tanning process. This treatment results in the characteristic "pull-up" effect: when the surface is stretched, bent, or crumpled, its color will temporarily show lighter undertones, creating the rugged, vintage appearance that pull-up leather is famous for.

Due to the waxing and oiling treatment, this premium leather is immensely durable and water-resistant, yet it remains soft, supple, and flexible. Bracelets and cuffs made of this material show a typical matte, velvety surface and develop a rich, unique patina as they age—a true hallmark of pull-up leather.

Please note that this high-quality vegetable-tanned leather is produced without using harsh chemicals, making it far more sustainable and biodegradable than chrome-tanned leathers. Unlike coated leather, it retains its natural, open pores and breathable surface, making it very pleasant on the skin while you wear it.

How to best care for Pull-Up Leather

Due to its specific treatment, pull-up leather may scratch more easily than other types of leather. However, it can also be recovered more easily. To address minor marks, simply rub the scratch with the tip of your finger. The warmth of your skin naturally "pulls up" the oils and waxes embedded in the leather, making most scrapes disappear almost immediately.

While some deeper scratches may not vanish completely, they simply become part of the patina—unlike on other leathers. This enhances the distinctive, rugged character of your bracelet over time.

Please Note: Leather is a natural material and all my accessories are handmade items. Slight deviations to the article shown in the images are possible, as each of these carefully crafted bracelets is a unique, made-to-order item.
