Toshi Straps レビュー 

Top notch experience from start to finish!

Rich was wonderful to work with and the quality of the strap he created for me is outstanding. I found him to be very responsive and helpful each time, and there were many, I reached out with specific questions. His assistance was invaluable in getting the perfect strap created for the watch I am passing down to my son.

My experience working with him was outstanding and the strap he made is fantastic and was created and delivered very quickly. I highly recommend Toshi Straps!

The quality of Rich's work is second to none, quality and craftmanship rolled into one and better than the watch manufacturers themselves. The strap was made to my specification and shipped on time. To say I'm pleased is an understatement. and now looking for the next purchase. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company.

I’m not normally one for writing reviews, but I couldn’t be happier with my new strap.
I’ve used Toshi Straps in the past and was happy to use Rich again.
The straps are handmade to order so it’s understandable that they’ll be a lengthy wait, but it’s worth waiting for.
The quality of workmanship is excellent and well worth the price

From the start Richard from Toshi Straps was present during the process. I have had two straps now. The first was a Heidrun strap for my Certina Watch and the second, a harlequin strap for my Ballwatch. The straps are truly magnificent. The workmanship is unparalleled. The choice of leather on Richard’s site is amazing. Richard has a good eye and even gave me advice (when asked for) on a strap for my red faced Certina ds2 when he was away out of the country. I have just received the harlequin strap which really makes the Ballwatch pop. Both straps arrived exactly when Richard said they would. As soon as I opened the package, the smell of the leather was there. The feel of the strap was that of a quality piece. Both straps are substantial but soft and pliable. They are both extremely comfortable. So I now have the task of choosing a leather for my Speedmaster.

Great quality leather strap! I ordered the cocoa color and it turned out exactly as pictured. Fast shipping to the US, I was a little hesitant to buy from overseas at first but would definitely buy again. Rich kept me updated throughout the process and followed up to make sure I was happy with the purchase.

Super strap very very well made, nice that they are made in the U.K. too.

The strap I received from Rich is up there with some of the best strap makers available, and at for me anyway a very very reasonable price.

The quality of the leather is truly wonderful, very supple and the colour is just fantastic. I ordered the bumblegum pink one for my Panerai.

Shipped exactly when he said it would be and recd in perfect condition.

Red Phoenix 22mm Absolutely delighted with the Strap, Quality and Fit is superb. Leather smells lovely too. I will be ordering another colour strap soon. Great service and communication. Highly recommended.

Looked for a bespoke watch strap maker and came across Toshi Straps. The product looked good. Had some questions about process and buckles, all of which Rich answered promptly and patiently - can’t fault the comms.
Ordered a couple - there’s a bit of a lead time, but understandable. Very pleased with the straps themselves - they’re well-made and nicely finished. I especially like the large pin holes. They actually make me want to wear the watches in question.
Seriously looking to order more.

This is my fourth Toshi strap - lime green this time, as if I needed any more excuses to dress down my luxury wrist trinkets on top quality vintage style leather straps of many colours....

Rich's website is fantastic - the quality of the photography means you know exactly what you're buying. Communications are always great. The extensive gallery is the best part - hundreds of examples on wrists IRL (though Rich advises to use the formal studio pics to best assess colour). As a watchie who believes that the choice of strap is as vital as the choice of watch, Rich's website and gallery are excellent. I keep falling back in....

Excellent experience purchasing a watch strap for Toshi. The strap itself is extremely high quality and exceeds my expectations. Communication was great and I received the shipment in the timeframe expected. Will buy again in the future.

I was impressed that Richard double checked the order details, and kept me well informed throughout. I'm very pleased with the strap, which is high quality. OEM equivalent without the cost.

I've commissioned a strap at least twice from Toshi over the years. High quality materials and workmanship coupled with great communication mean I come back when I need something fresh, new and unique and recommend to others looking for the same.
Really great watch straps from this gent.

Great handmade product. Excellent communication with a passionate craftsman.

I just received my third order from Rich Beard, the owner of Toshi Straps, and this non frequent reviewer absolutely has to say - Toshi Straps are terrific ! I received straps in the following colors - Candy, Ultraviolet, Horween Football, and Derby - yes, very different from each other, but I urge you to take alook at them - vibrant, colorful, and true statement pieces. The quality of construction is truly flawless and the leather itself is just remarkable. Yes, I'm gushing, and no, I am not being paid to say these things. No, they aren't cheap, but nothing of true quality ever is, but the value is there. Give Rich a try, you will not regret it !

I first ordered a strap from Rich in 2017. It was great, and lasted well, but I was lazy about cleaning it and it once got very wet by accident. It wasn’t looking its best, so I decided to get a new one.

Once you’re on Rich’s mailing list, you’ll be notified of periodic sales - maybe twice a year. This is not a sale of existing stock by the way, all of his straps are made to order. Just before Easter this year I took advantage of a sale where the more straps you ordered, the bigger % discount you got - going for a ‘buy 3 get 30% off’.

His website has very clear, high quality photos of all his strap colours (a huge selection) mounted on a Panerai Luminor Base. This is ideal for me as this is my watch! I decided to go with a yellow (Giallo) for summer, an orange/brown (Arancio) and a slightly washed out black (Zombie). They arrived a week ahead of schedule, and they are even better than I remember from my first order. Perfectly made, lovely thick leather, beautiful stitching and weighty Panerai style buckles.

Each of my straps cost £95 before the discount, which I think is incredible value for money for a true artisan product. The cheapest leather strap from Panerai currently retails for £240, and having owned one of these they are nowhere near the same quality.

Don’t even continue to think about it. Order your next strap from Rich (Toshi Straps) and thank me later 😉

I just received four watch straps from Rich at Toshi straps. Excellent work, as always! Went back and counted and I have ordered 14 straps from Toshi over the years, and all are happily used in my watch rotation.

He uses the best leathers (soft and supple) and has some very unusual and cool colors. For someone who likes a pop of (comfortable) color on their wrist, give Rich a try. He is excellent to work with!

Fantastic straps, certainly exceeding OEM quality by a long shot and an amazing choice of leathers. I’ll certainly be purchasing a number for me and as gifts.

Legit and reliable business. I’ve been purchasing these custom made straps for nearly a decade. They are of the highest quality and old world craftsmanship (beautiful and made to last). They are super comfortable and striking. Worth every penny for sure. Process for purchasing and selecting is easy and flawless. The owner/Richard is 100% professional (and a perfectionist- it shows in the straps). Buy with confidence. You are in good hands and will love the straps. I have many and keep looking for new leather options.

I'm a watch person and have bought leather straps from several different makers. Since I bought my first strap from Toshi Straps I've bought all of my leather straps from here. I've ordered about 10 straps over the past few years. They look great and I've gotten many, many compliments about them.

The straps are handmade and highly customizable. From types of leather, color, stitching, types of buckles, width, length- you can choose something that is really special and unique for you.

I've bought four for my Panerai Luminor but others have been for more refined and traditional-looking Seiko's and a Zenith. The quality of the leather, the hardware, and the straps all together have been stellar. I've found the descriptions of the leathers to be spot-on.

Communication has been really good. Straps have been prepared and shipped timely, and with good communication. They are handmade and being shipped from the UK to me in the US. So things like holidays and international shipping will impact how long it's taken me to receive them. But communication from order receipt to telling me they've shipped and the tracking number has been good. As I've had questions and asked for recommendations responses have been great.

If you are a watch person or just have a watch that's special to you and you're looking for a leather strap, I'd strongly recommend considering Toshi straps.

I have had Toshi straps on various different watches over the years, and have just received the latest.

As was expected Rich was an absolute pleasure to deal with, helping to make sure I ordered the correct length for achieving my preferred fit, and his attention to detail is second to none.

The strap arrived bang on time, fitted both the watch and my wrist perfectly, and the quality of the leather, and the quality of manufacture was as usual right out of the top drawer.

I really couldn’t recommend Toshi Straps highly enough.
