The invention relates to watch straps made of felt material. The method includes cutting out the strap from the felt material with a density of up to 0.5 g/cm.sup.3; forming the ends of the strap to be fastened to the watch body by adjusting the shape of the strap ends to the shape of a specific watch body and/or to strap fastening elements; impregnating the shaped ends of the strap with polymeric glue, preferably with liquid cyanoacrylate; precisely adjusting the fully dried and processed strap ends to the watch body or strap fastening elements; drilling the transversal apertures in the strap ends for inserting the watch pins to fasten the strap to the watch body. The watch strap thus obtained is eco-friendly, recyclable, non-allergenic and can be securely fastened to the watch body.

A fashion item (100) including a thin wall with locally and selectively expandable areas including: an internal core (30) made of a lining material which can expand in contact with a liquid; a support layer (10) having an external face (11) opposite an internal face (12) on which the internal core (30) is arranged, the support layer (10) being configured so that the expansion of the lining material does not substantially cause its deformation; and an impermeable covering layer (20) attached to the support layer (10) so as to tightly enclose the internal core (30), the layer including one or a plurality of through holes (21) opening onto the internal core (30) and arranged relative to each other so as to form a predefined matrix, the covering layer (20) being configured such that the expansion of the lining material substantially causes its deformation.

Multicolored flexible wearables and related methods

Multicolored flexible wearables include a first portion having a first flexible polymer forming a toroid and including one or more colorants, a first surface, a second surface, and a recess in the first surface not reaching the second surface. A second portion formed of a second flexible polymer fills a majority of the recess and includes one or more colorants. The first and second flexible polymers have different colors and are permanently bonded together. Precious material particles may be disposed within the first and/or second flexible polymers. One or more of the colorants may have a color matching a color of the precious material particles. One method of bonding the portions includes depositing a liquid second portion into the recess and then curing it. Another method includes depositing a solid second portion into the recess and then curing a liquid layer of polymer between the first portion and second portion.
