CORDEL began at a single bench with a single problem: every watch roll on the market closed with a zip, and every zip eventually scratched a case.
So we tied ours shut instead. A four-strand cord, braided from the same hide as the roll, long enough to wrap twice and knot. Nothing metal, nothing to fail, nothing to mark a bezel.
One hide, start to finish
We buy full hides rather than pre-cut panels. It costs more and wastes more, but it means the grain runs continuous from end to end, and a roll ages as one piece rather than a patchwork.
Guaranteed for life
Every seam we sew is guaranteed for as long as you own the piece. Send us a photo of a failure and we will repair or replace it.
