You should consider alcantra or staffiano leather for yours. Look in the VC forum you will see many post of mine with différent straps if it helps give you ideas

Yes, Nicolas!

But I made a special trip into the city from New Jersey to visit the boutique today. Unfortunately Manhattan was closed. I will have to go another day..
