leather straps

Tanned hide strips

Leather straps are narrow strips of leather used for binding, fastening, or securing.

They appear on belts, watch bands, luggage, horse tack, and countless other applications where durable, flexible fastening is needed.

In certain contexts, leather straps carry connotations of corporal punishment or BDSM restraint: He threatened the children with the leather strap; leather straps and handcuffs.
