Hi guys,

On my 005 i have a black strap & white stitching from Gorilla, i absolutely love it but i wanted another one to switch with, an other colour, something more "summer" strap :D

And for a long time i litteraly drooled over my keyboard watching the blog of Septimus, a french strapmaker. He makes straps just on his free time so he produces limited quantity but after few emails i got lucky & received this beauty 2 weeks after the 1st mail!!

I hesitated a long time due to the price so i search for this tint in every strapmakers but never find it.But since this 005k is definitely a keeper, i said "f..k it i'm gonna spend the extra $$ in this Septimus, i want it!!". And let's be clear, i'm in love with this one, the honey color, the differences in the tint, the reflections in the sun, the stitching, etc ..

And the funny part is i now get more compliments on my strap than on my Pam :lol:

Just a bracket about straps:After getting a Kain Heritage strap for my Pam i made my mind to never buy again this kind of straps (Heroic18, KH, etc...) i always had a deception when i received it, it's indeed good straps but IMHO for the price you can have some really handmade straps (lot of verry good strapmakers here on the different boards).

Now the pics:

Holycow, what a gorgeous strap, HT!!! Clean and classy looking while screaming gen quality (only it's probably a few times better than gen straps :D)!!
Can I ask by how much this artful work set you back?

Great leather; the texture and richness of color is splendid.

Looks like it will last a life time!
