Co-Design your own Strap Contest

Deadline for submission: November 22nd, 2024.

Time has come... As part of our 10-year anniversary celebration, we're excited to invite you to participate in our special contest: "Co-Design Your Own Watch Strap"! This is your chance to bring your creativity to life by designing a custom watch strap that reflects your personal style.

Here’s how it works:

1. Create a Moodboard:

Use images, colors, and textures that inspire your ideal watch strap. Whether it’s the rugged outdoors, sleek city style, or vintage classics, your moodboard will be the foundation for your design.

2. Choose Your Design Details:

Together with uploading your moodboard, provide us with specific details for your watch strap:
- Strap Type: Will it be a Single Pass strap, racing strap, vintage style, or something else?
- Color: Let us know your preferred color or color combination.
- Leather or Fabrics options: What leather or fabric will be used? Grained Leather, Exotic leather, Suede or perhaps a special fabric?
- Stitching: What kind of stitching will your strap have? Think about color contrast, thickness, and style.
- Edges & Heatline: How will the edges be finished? Will there be a heatline or any specific details you want to add for a polished look?
- Shapes: Include details on the overall shape and any specific design features.
- Customization: Will there be custom design on your strap?

3. Submit before the Deadline:

Send your moodboard together with the specific details of your design to patrick@bulangandsons.com latest by November 22nd, 2024! Preferably use PDF documents.
