Oswego Leather Wrap

Color: Honey

A tactile and luxe leather handle wrap designed for kitchen appliances and more. Intuitive to install, our leather wrap kit is designed to flexibly coil around bars of any size.

Features

  • Uses high-quality American veg-tan leather that is durable in all the elements (including outdoors!), warm to the touch, and has an outstanding handfeel
  • Cleans easily and will develop a rich patina with age and use
  • Will last a lifetime: can be un-installed and re-installed on new appliances and moved from house to house

The Details

Our wrap matches our collection of Leather Drawer Pulls and Cabinet Handles for warm and cohesive look throughout your kitchen, at all the touch points. 

Like our other bar wraps, the Oswego Leather Wrap comes as a kit. You install it yourself on your handles and bars. The simple coil tape design is flexible for any kind of bar or rail dimensions: it can fit around curves, corners, ovalized shapes, and more. 

Using the unique qualities of veg-tan leather, no sticky tape backing is required. This natural leather stays fast in place once installed, yet is able to be transferred from handle to handle over the years.

Connect multiple lengths for longer projects like a handrail or stair banister: Wrap a handrail in leather >>>

Comparing our other kits? Unlike our bicycle bar wraps, the Oswego kit includes:

  • A staple extension system for connecting multiple wraps on extra-long installations, like banisters
  • An optional leather "cuff" for neatly-finished ends
  • One wrap instead of two for customized installations
  • An extra-long wrap specially chosen from the hide's center for maximum length

SPARE PARTS

Our high quality leather can be uninstalled from one bar and re-installed on another: simply un-wrap and re-install the same way you installed them the first time. Extra staples, double-sided tape (optional) and leather care dressing available in our Parts section. 

COLORS

Natural, Honey, Dark Brown, Black 

MATERIALS

Hand-dyed, American vegetable-tanned leather. Stainless steel leather staples.  

DIMENSIONS

Includes (1) specially-designed, extra-long 1.25" wide straps of leather with beveled edges, at least 80" long. 

The amount of handle this strap can cover depends on: 

  • the circumference of the handle
  • the overlap of the coils during wrapping (we recommend 1/8" to maximize length)

In our experience, this has wrapped:

  • a 1" diameter (3.14" circumference) handle x 30" length (with 1/8" overlap)
  • or a 4.25" circumference handle x 24" in length (with 1/8" overlap) 

How many kits do you need? Use our estimator tool!

If in doubt: order 2 sets: you can always return the unused second one. 

INCLUDES

Included in each purchase is one extra-long strap, two end cuffs,  written instructions, and four staples. Each strap is one single piece of leather.  

INSTALLATION

Includes written installation instructions.

Interiors Collection Information

Our vegetable-tanned leather does great indoors or outdoors. It is the same kind of old-fashioned heritage leather used in equestrian gear (horse tack), so it is meant to be rough-housed and cleans easily!

easy to install

Was easy to install on our front door handle. As careful as I could be, I still nicked my finger on the leather staple. It looks great.
