DESIGNED by Fagliano, but not MADE by Fagliano, I believe.

JLC has created a confusing situation with the straps in the “Fagliano Collection.” All are designed by Fagliano, but not all are made by Fagliano in their Argentina facility. For both the blue and burgundy Tribute To Small Seconds, the descriptions on the JLC website were careful to state that the strap is only “designed by” Fagliano. (That language was later deleted from the description of the burgundy, but it is still present on the blue’s webpage.)
On both my blue and burgundy watches, the strap is stamped, “Made in France,” so it was not made by Casa Fagliano.
For those watches with straps MADE by Fagliano, the JLC website specifically mentions that fact. For example, the ReversoTribute Duoface Fagliano Limited’s description states that the strap is “hand-crafted by the iconic Argentine boot maker, Casa Fagliano.” Without such specific language, a Fagliano Collection strap features the characteristic Fagliano look, but it is likely made by a different entity.
The straps on the blue and the burgundy are still quite nice, though, whoever makes them!
