Something about custommade handmade straps

[thermalboyz]

thermalboyz Now you are confusing, this is cow hide and what are you compare with? alligator leather? For sure different price because the material are different. Try make some sense.
This wallet is reasonable priced as the material cost is low, event my local maker in the UK can make this type for similar price range ($60). So, what to compare here if you are talking about this wallet type made by cow hide. The price is roughly the same.
You found the seller and his prices? Now go in his products. Most of them are from croco leather. You will find nice custom handmade watch straps. And find the price too. 10% of the italian prices? See what he did? He will do anything you want. Bags? Shoes? Belts? Watch straps? Thats a real professional. Just give him a photo and tell him what you want! I like the price of the bags too. FUNNY!! And whos that UK guy who will do handmade Cow Leather wallet for 60$? Pls give me his contact!!

Yes I found the seller, so what? 10% of what Italian price? (Proof needed) , strap is from cow hide hence the price is low plus nothing fancy on design. My local leather maker can do that too in UK and I am not giving his contact for whatever reason you can think of, he is local so I doubt you can find any information and he made good leather vege tan wallet, bags, strap just like that or maybe better. Well, I found no reason sent pics to the seller you've mentioned as I can do that myself locally with my local leather maker.


Guys, this thread is going nowhere but it's kinda fun, beware . . . . . .

[MENTION=98229]tysoosn[/MENTION] did you ever made a strap? Did you ever see someone who made it? You can't just tell me it takes one hour or 10min as you stated first, simply because I making them every day and know what it takes. About pricing, even your brother won't give you strap at production price. Value of the things is purely perceived value where bottom line is production price

beau_bands I have a little company with 3 workers. Its graphic design studio. Im working with design studios from germany. 5 design studios. 3 of them are from Berlin. Here its how it works:
Customer goes to his design studio. He want some design for hmmm. For catalogue or flyer or business card or anything. He call me. We use viber because its expensive He told me what to do. We do that. He give that to the customer x10 of my price. Customer thinks he got design Made in Germany. But he dont!! In few days we will have finished 1500 design so Im preparing some party for that.

I like how some of that Made in Italy straps were sooo... Holes are not equal.. Sometimes there are few mm difference. I can see it with on the monitor. You can imagine that in real... In Asian handmade straps I never saw that. Real professional cant do that big mistake. And if he do he will put in trash that strap. Not sell for 200$ hahah

thermalboyz... You found the price of wallet and cant find the croco straps and their price? Cmon man you are smarter then that

Lets give tysoosn a new job, upgrade him to our forum strapdealer and just pay him one dollar for every strap he made + leather costs Lol
if your car gets broken, what do you pay the repair man ? only the parts +1 usd ? or are you the guy who brings his own parts xD

Thats how Chinese works. Not me! Im not cheap in my job believe me. I respect my job. Chinese companies tried to get my market few times. But I have quality so quality/price they choose me!! But if i gave them price 200$ per business card 10x4 design Im sure they will change me for few seconds lol

Ok sent us video when you do strap. We want to see you what do you do in all that 4 hours? When I make designs. I know 90% of the controls on the software on keyboard. Im fast. My workers are better and faster then me. They do business card design per 3-4 min. Finished!! Ready to print. Some designer can do that for 4 hours. But he is not professional, hes not even a designer... Admins try to safe their TD. They know how much worth 20cm of ITALIAN croco leather...

 

[thermalboyz]

You better send video of you doing design in 3 - 4 mins.

guys, keep an eye on him especially on Sale Thread for cheap leather / croc straps for sale. Then he can x10 for profiting.

You want a video? OK, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPZo-3MUfK8
Other, lease don't take this as self promotion, that is not my intention. Video is made for 2 years ago, today I'm faster and much more precise, but not as fast as [MENTION=98229]tysoosn[/MENTION] suggest. Maybe I'll make a video about making a padded strap - it takes longer time [MENTION=98229]tysoosn[/MENTION]

 

[tysoosn]

You can do it faster. For 1 hour it will be over. In that video you are show things slowly for the camera.. I have uploaded some tutorials for begginer designers. They have millions of views but I will not give you links of course. Let me give you some link for you what is a profesional. Even this is not an art!! Enjoy

[tysoosn]

I think you have made your point OP. Now if you don't mind, please let people spend a hundred or 200 dollars in a nice strap if they think it's worth it.

 

[thermalboyz]

your tutorial have millions of view? By the way, that video is fastforward 1000x of 4 mins so you do the maths. My tutorial of "No Bullshit" have 17 millions of view, but i am not showing you the link of course.

thermalboyz
I know the video is fatforwarded you idiot! But who can make Mona Lisa in Paint? Thats a ....ing professional who knows his job. I have tutorials on youtube. Try you will find them! But there are millions of better designers then me. Im not the best of course... You see that 40min NOT edited strap making video? Say something about it? Its italian btw... Hahahha

[MENTION=98229]tysoosn[/MENTION] this is the really basic strap nothing special, yes, it's fast to make, many of strap makers made such straps. You know what? Leather Nato strap is even faster to make, no gluing, takes about 15min

The strap at my 087 is art IMO and I have no problem to pay a bit more for the craftsmanship behind that work.

^^^^^
This

This will go forever, and it is pointless saying making a straps is not an art, who are you [MENTION=98229]tysoosn[/MENTION] to decide which is an art or not?! are you an art expertise or are you a God?!. You [MENTION=98229]tysoosn[/MENTION] made your point and others have their own point of view, soo don't push it, let others spend their own money on straps.

[MENTION=98229]tysoosn[/MENTION] If in a room everybody agrees, somebody is not thinking.
Well...it's the same if you are the only one thinking in one way while all the others agree!! It that case it's clear...it's your brain which is switched off!!!
