Who wrote that doing a strap needs 10 minutes of work and just some decent material probably doesn't have experienced the real art of doing a strap.

Each car have 4 wheels, an engine and 5 seats. But anyone here could say that a Fiat or a Renault are the same as Volvo, a BMW or a Porsche?
They are steel, plastic and electronic.

Doing a strap is the same.
Leather is just a standard name. There are tens of type of leather and we need to choose the right one. We need to buy leather from company that doesn't use toxic compounds like in China is often done. We buy exotic skins for certified sellers. There are different coloring technics. There are a lot of materials to do the stitching. We need to invest and create something original. And for us is all a matter of passion.

But, if for you is the same just continue to buy a Chinese strap done by a children in 10 minutes.

Ahah the video is mine, 2dstraps.
I'm not a pro because I do this as hobby and for PASSION.
But I can ensure you that If I need only 40 minutes to do a strap I'll be a magician.

I need 5/6 hours to do a strap. If you need only 10 minutes please show me how, I wish to learn

I agree with nickee that if he can make a strap in 10 minutes.
This guy know nothing about hand made technique. Just a keyboard hero.
And he forgot one important thing about hand made strap: they are not only buying 10 gram leather, they are also buying your efforts to make your perfect product.
One photo of 10 minutes hand made strap with 8 layers.
