A small French tannery, founded in 1803, produces the supple Granada leather for this elegant bracelet. The smooth top leather is lightly sanded and drum-dyed to preserve its fine texture. What appears to be a solid buckle is actually a two-part magnetic clasp that secures wonderfully easily. We have also added an inner layer of Vectran fabric to ensure strength and stretch resistance. It is the same material that NASA used to create the landing airbags for the Mars rover spacecraft.
