Love the quilted straps. I have the white and the pink. The solid (non-quilted) varieties can be too stiff & take a long time to loosen up and fit right. These softened easier and look nice on the wrist. The white is a nice soft white that isn't LED-bright or greyed. The pink is soft and goes well with my real pink (not peachy colored) clothing. It's not so true-pink that it wouldn't go with peachy-pinks too. They aren't for rugged use, but really who pays $120 for that kind of a watch strap? Mine have all held up to office use/ hand washing/ lotion use/ etc. They make a nice change from the usual metal watch band. The only thing that would make them better is if they didn't need any breaking-in and were less stiff to start with.
I've had Michele watches for many years and love the way this band looks with my Michele deco watch. The black quilt makes the diamonds on the watch face pop and look even more gorgeous. The construction of the strap is very good as well.
