Some ideas how to clean leather strap from chilli stain? It leave an darker shade on the strap despite trying 5 times to rub it away ..

If the stain has absorbed into the leather, it is really difficult to remove and only leather cleaning professionals "may" remove the stain and it can prove to be more costly then what the strap is worth.

Another option is to re-dye the strap to a darker colour?

If the underside of your strap is of the same colour, then you can do a test clean in a un-noticeable area and see if it darkens, etc.

That's good to know... now I'm tempted to get one as well.

Did you use the spring bar from the original bracelet or were additional ones included with the strap?

Original Spring bars. There were no additional Spring bars included with the strap.
