Even if you don’t realize it, everything you own tells a story. You may not know what that story is, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there. It may be a piece of history, a family heirloom, or even something new. Everything you buy has something to say and we think it’s time we start listening. Owning something that embodies a piece of history is a powerful thing that allows you to carry something with you beyond superficial beauty. That’s why we love Vintage French Ammo watch straps.
