**Crocodile leather**, characterized by its elongated body and thick scales, offers unique fine textures

**Crocodile leather**, characterized by its elongated body and thick scales, offers unique fine textures not found in other leathers. Its intricate structure demands specialized tanning processes distinct from those used for other leathers, focusing on reducing wear and ensuring color and tanning techniques are appropriately applied.

**Crafting Crocodile Leather Straps**

Given its delicate grain and raised patterns, crocodile leather is particularly susceptible to abrasions during processing. To mitigate this, we carefully consider the mechanical action and chemical selection, adjusting drum rotation speed, operation time, and liquid ratio to minimize damage.

**Caring for Crocodile Leather Straps**

The maintenance of crocodile leather straps follows the 3S principle: using a cleanser compatible with the **Skin**, a **Soft** damp cloth for cleaning, and **Soon** allowing it to air dry naturally. It’s crucial to minimize contact with water and allow the strap to dry thoroughly before wearing it again to prevent odors. Also, avoid folding the strap in cold weather to prevent damage. For dust removal, lightly dab with a damp cloth and air dry.

If your strap has developed a strong smell from prolonged wear, gently brush the affected areas with a small amount of soapy water, rinse quickly with clean water, and pat dry with a soft cloth. Then, apply a thin layer of leather conditioner (if not sensitive to skin) to rejuvenate the strap. The entire cleaning process should be swift, under 20 seconds, to prevent soap absorption that could compromise the leather quality.
