The Character of Alran Sully
Alran Sully is a French goatskin leather appreciated for its distinctive natural grain, supple feel and understated character. Produced by the French tannery Alran, it has a texture that gives each watch strap its own visual identity, with subtle variations that make every piece slightly different.
One of the qualities that makes Sully particularly appealing is the balance between its fine grain and its natural softness. The surface has enough character to stand out without becoming visually overpowering, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of watches. Its supple nature also allows the strap to adapt comfortably to the wrist, developing a familiar feel through regular wear.
At Roiberd Atelier, I chose Alran Sully for its ability to combine texture, comfort and quiet elegance. It offers a different expression from the smoother or more structured leathers found in other collections, while retaining the same attention to materials and craftsmanship.
Each Chevre Watch Strap is handcrafted to order in Spain, with careful attention to the selection of the leather, the construction and the finishing details. The result is a strap that allows the natural character of Alran Sully to speak for itself, bringing a distinctive yet understated presence to the watch it accompanies.
