Toshi Straps Reviews 

So glad I found Toshi, a fine craftsman in my own county. He was helpful and responsive from the start, approving my project to fit my late father's refurbished watch with an Iguana strap. Very good communication, very pleased with the result. Recommended.

My second strap from Rich at Toshi. Excellent quality and beautifully made. Highly recommended.

This new kiwi strap made for my anonimo militare just takes it to another level. Always loved the watch but never really got into the strap it came on so didn’t get as much wrist presence as I would have liked. That’s now changed and just love wearing this handmade strap from Rich at toshi. Kept in touch all the way and delivered to the minute. Will be back for more when I can make my mind up from the wonderful choice.
Kiwi 🥝 strap is quality and perfect fit, if your unsure as to what you want give rich a shout as he has great ideas.

Great Kudu leather watch strap for my Panerai. Rich was really helpful over email after purchase to ensure all the strap specifications I required were correct. Very happy with my purchase

Excellent service from Toshi! We had some good interaction in the ordering process to get the perfect strap, that happened immediately so I then ended up with exactly what I wanted. The Strap itself is outstanding, quality is off the chart! The only (nice) problem now is I will have to order another in an alternative colour for different occasions. Great company to do business with.

Over the past few years I've had a few handmade straps from Toshi Straps. When I wanted a new strap for my recently purchased Panerai there was only one person I was going to order it from. The ordering process is very easy and Rich always sends an email asking you to confirm all the details are correct. My strap arrived today, a couple of days earlier than quoted, the strap is amazing, as usual with all Rich's straps. If you want a handmade strap made of some of the best and different leathers around then I can recommend Toshi Straps 100%

This is my third Toshi strap and an amazing strap it is too. Richard has such a selection of leathers in all colours, textures and characters. The three straps I have are all the same size and I have chosen the same buckles but due to the leather, they are all different and all fabulous. I have submitted reviews for the other two so I will concentrate on the one that I have received today. It is made with Horween Derby and it is 20mm wide. I have never seen a 5mm thick strap as pliable but tough as this. I have put it on my Omega Speedmaster and there it will stay. It just looks the part. It also smells good too but no one goes round sniffing their watch straps ( that I know of😂).
The service from Richard is always bang on and this time was no different. He kept me appraised at the progress, informing me when the strap was finished, when it was posted and asking for confirmation that I have received it. On this occasion he finished it early but the wait was not a long one in any case. Another thing that I really like about the strap is the keeper. It is a single wide loop which is substantial and excellently made. The stitching on it and the rest of the strap is done with quality thread and is very neat especially as it is hand made. There are many colours of thread that can be chosen and Richard has taken the time on several occasions to advise which would be best for which strap. If you care about your watch looking the bees knees then give Toshi Straps a go. The straps are not the cheapest but they are the best I have found for the money, anywhere.

Phenomenal!

I’ve been after Toshi strap for a while, and finally got round to ordering a burgundy shell cordovan for my Panerai 3 weeks ago. It arrived today, a week early, and is stupendous! Beautiful quality, amazing fit and finish. Superb value for money, I’ll be going back for a black one soon. Check them out….

Received today a watch strap made by Richard
I was recommended to him
This is a present for a friend to their specifications. Richard replied straight away to my order & has updated on the time scale due.
Absolutely perfect strap . Really excellent workmanship .
Thank you again

I found Richard to be really helpful when ordering my strap for a panerai luminor
It turned up ahead of delivery date
I will definitely be buying more straps from Richard

Exceptional quality! I ordered this strap for my watch and it came a lot quicker than I thought. WOW, was I surprised when I opened it up! The leather quality was like nothing I had ever seen before in a watch strap! Just beautiful! The color of it worked perfectly with my watch and it was smooth as butter. The most high quality watch strap I have ever seen!

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....
