Every piece is made start to finish by a single artisan, with direct quality control at every step.
Italian leathers
Premium leathers from LWG-certified tanneries in Italy, chosen to last for decades rather than seasons.
Saddle-stitched
Traditional hand saddle stitching, for seams built to last.
Bespoke sizing
Straps and pieces sized for the person who will carry or wear them.
Made with you
Personal communication from the first message to the finished piece.
Our story
It began with a broken watch strap
In 2018, the leather strap on my watch gave way. Instead of replacing it, I decided to make one myself — with ₱1,000 worth of basic tools, online tutorials and countless hours of practice. That curiosity became an obsession, and eventually, Maison de Kalidad.
— Matt, founder and artisan
Bespoke
Made to your measure
Custom watch straps and small leather goods, made to order. Choose the leather, lining, thread and edge colour, and I’ll size the piece for the wrist or pocket it’s made for — keeping you updated at every step.
