The design label "Sailor Strap," awarded the German Design Award in 2018, represents a small Warsaw-based manufactory that has been traditionally handcrafting camera straps made from braided rope and Italian premium leather for several years.

In addition to the vegetable-tanned Italian premium leather, only the finest materials are hand-processed for Sailor Strap products, such as the main component of every Sailor Strap hand strap or every Sailor Strap camera strap: the braided rope made of artificial silk.

The high-quality rope, not comparable to climbing rope or similar, consists of so-called polyester silk, a yarn made from very fine polyester threads, which is intricately braided into a rope. In this way, the polyester silk rope can certainly compete with its natural counterpart in terms of suppleness and elegant shine, and even surpass it in terms of function. Although it offers a similarly high wearing comfort as silk, it is additionally tear-resistant, quick-drying, lightfast, and shape-retaining. Finally, firmly connected to the Italian leather with robust saddler’s thread and equipped with hardened corrosion-resistant split rings, each Sailor Strap camera strap made of braided rope is a unique piece, a symbiosis between sailing and photography.

Sailor Strap camera straps and hand straps are available in various rope thicknesses, lengths, and colors, with or without scratch protection.
