First of all, it’s still very refreshing to know that there are still a few independent small artisan businesses that still exist in this modern, fast paced, cookie cutter world. I did research before purchasing these laces, as I wanted something that wasn’t mass produced on a large scale and snaps after two months, when I came acrossDaniel’s company called Senkels, the craftsmanship and the time that it takes to make these items, it’s truly amazing, everything is made by hand, with high-quality materials and authentic craftsmanship. When my leases arrived, I was more than delighted, the all of leases are a real eyecatcher, especially with the Rose brass and they really set them off. I can’t speak highly enough about this company.
