Oooh, ever so stylish. Not artesian boring. Luigi in Italy must be thrilled 
that they have paid homage to his original designs in
the range. Sort of like Battle star Galactica and Starwars.
I think I'll get the fake alligator strap. My pet salamander has got uppity.

Cheers

What we have here is FAILURE......
To keep our camera from crashing to the sidewalk.
That's why I walk on the grass.

And the ARTESIAN people have all kinds of other really well thought out
classy simple elegant straps. With no alcohol products used in the making.

Check this out SILK CORD STRAP
http://www.artisanandartist.com/straps/acam106.htm
Reminds me of the taste of wild hickory nuts

CORDOVAN LEATHER STRAP
http://www.artisanandartist.com/straps/acam260.htm
" Genuine shell cordovan is a scarce commodity. While most leathers come
from cows, genuine shell cordovan comes from a horse."
Now that's a horse of a different color!

ALLIGATOR PATTERN STRAP
Guaranteed NOT made from ALLIGATORS  which is why its so good.
100% real fake alligator.

Very alligator like cows. They get you in the water. Like hippos. That moo.

"does it bite? No but it'll RAM you to death".

Vegetable Tanned Strap
http://www.artisanandartist.com/straps/acam281.htm

That's right tanned from real vegetables. But they don't say which ones!

And the list goes on.

I think they should make a variety pack and give you one of each for only
999 dollars. Plus tax.


But seriously I'm going to try a few of these out. Splurge.

My neck deserves a break. Gets stuck out enough.
