DELLA STRETCH CHOCOLATE BINDING STRAPS – HIGH-PERFORMANCE SADDLE-MAKING LEATHER

The DELLA chocolate stretch binding straps are made from one-third full-grain, non-corrected rump leather with a smooth grain. Unlike vegetable-tanned leathers, they undergo mineral chrome tanning, which gives the edges a naturally bluish tint, a sign of quality leather and controlled tanning. This tanning process is a key step that gives them increased strength and predictable performance under tension.

In addition, a clear aniline finish preserves the authentic appearance of the full-grain leather. A tallow bath (paraffin + beef fat) nourishes the leather deeply, making it waterproof and easy to work with, with no need for regular maintenance.

FOR PROFESSIONAL SADDLE-MAKING USE
These binding straps are designed for the manufacture and restoration of equestrian saddles (dressage, training, racing). Their very low stretch rate – less than 6% after 1,000 cycles at 75 kg – and their breaking strength of over 360 kg (for a width of 25 mm) make them ideal for intensive use.
Their structure allows for an even distribution of tension, providing comfort for both horse and rider.

LEATHER THAT MAINTAINS ITSELF
Thanks to the tallow bath treatment, this leather requires no regular maintenance. The fat naturally rises to the surface to nourish the leather and give it a beautiful patina. If a whitish haze appears (due to thermal shock), simply rub it lightly to restore the leather's original appearance.

GUARANTEED ORIGIN AND TRACEABILITY
The leathers come from cattle raised in France, Germany, Spain, or Italy, selected for the quality of their hides. Traceability is ensured at every stage (reception, tanning, finishing) through internal marking at the Radermecker tannery.
