We shall be introducing a range of neck straps made in our Italian Dakota leather. These will be available in Black, Dark Brown, Papaya and Tan. Designed mainly for small compact cameras. As with most of our straps, they will be available with any of our 24 trim colours. The straps are approx. 16 inches in length (not including the loop) and ¼ inch width. This is a beautiful full grain, supple leather with burnished edges making them comfortable to wear.
Max is a reportage photographer based in London, England. He contacted me recently to see if I could help him out. He'd purchased a Minolta webbing strap through Ebay which had a rubber shoulder pad and wanted to know if I could supply a leather alternative to the webbing supplied. We decided on the Italian Dakota leather and it was made up to the measurements supplied by Max. As it was to be fitted directly to the triangular split rings we needed to leave the ends of the strap 'open'. The answer to this was to utilise 'chicago screws' which only need a screwdriver to fit. The following photos show the results.
Italian Dakota full grain leather from Tuscany now available in Dark Brown. A nice addition to our three other Dakota leathers which are Black, Tan and Papaya.
Now available alongside our standard swivel attachments. Made with the heavier swivel featuring welded rings for extra strength. These will comfortably support DSLR's, Rangefinders or compact type cameras. A useful addition to any of our shoulder straps providing better flexibility.
My strap of choice for the RX100. Made with Italian full grain leather. The swivel version allows a little more flexibility in use. The swivels used are the larger heavy duty type and ideal for the larger straps. This strap will also comfortably handle any larger camera/ lens combos.
A new addition to our shoulder strap range... Slightly wider, with larger camera/lens combinations in mind. Length can be customised to suit the individual.
Made from Italian full grain leather 20mm width x 102cm (40") length. Double riveted and fitted with split rings.
A recent addition to the 'Footprint' range of straps. Self adjusting via a running ring which is welded for strength. Made in both Italian Dakota full grain leather and Sedgwicks bridle leather in a choice of colours. Italian Dakota is the softer more flexible leather and in my view more suitable for todays compact cameras through to the rangefinder type. Bridle leather is a little less forgiving initially but does soften considerably with use. Recommended for heavier DSLR/Lens combinations. This is not to say that a soft Dakota leather would not be suitable for a DSLR. They are both made in the same way i.e. all joints are glued and saddle stitched to ensure strength before being bound with a super strong waxed polyester thread.
Fitted with split ring and rubber bumper ring ready to attach to your camera. These straps are also available with both Swivel and Loop fittings. (See pics below for examples).
Papaya Dakota/RichBrown Slip Bridle leather versions also available in Australian Nut, Havana, Black, Red, Conker and Light Havana. Not all variations will be listed. Please contact me if you require a different leather/trim colour combination.
