Handcrafted in Sydney, Australia
Not a factory. Not a brand. One person, one pair of hands — polyester webbing, full-grain leather tips, and a chamois shoulder grip on every strap. Built in the Shire for players who mean it.
Each of these straps is a single piece — embroidered trim on a polyester backing with leather tips. When it's gone, it's gone.
Teal & Rose Gold
Ornate swirl embroidery on teal. Rose gold metallic thread catches stage light like nothing else.
Gold & Green Leaves
Flowing foliage in gold and emerald. Woven jacquard trim — bold, warm, and one of a kind.
Green & Gold Acanthus
Bold acanthus leaf pattern in deep green and gold. Heavy jacquard, rich texture. Vintage energy.
Black & Silver Cross
Gothic cross with silver filigree on black. The one for players who mean it. Fits the Octave brand perfectly.
Build yours — made to order
Handmade in Sydney
50mm seat-belt grade polyester — the same material used in harnesses and heavy-duty bags. Lightweight, strong, and won't stretch out mid-set.
Every buckle and rivet is sourced from quality suppliers — nickel-plated zinc for everyday toughness, solid brass and stainless steel for players who want something that outlasts the guitar.
A Real chamois leather, hand-dyed to your colour, bonded to the underside. Grips your shoulder so the strap stays put. Four colours, dyed to order.
Both ends finished with full-grain leather — riveted on, not glued. Black or chestnut. Optional hand-stamped name for players who want their name on their gear.

Every strap is built to your order. Here's exactly what happens between you clicking "Add to Cart" and it arriving at your door.
50mm polyester webbing is measured and cut. Both ends are heat-sealed with a lighter — run quickly across the cut to melt the fibres and stop fraying.
A 50cm section of natural chamois leather is cut then hand-dyed with Fiebing's leather dye in your chosen colour. The natural oils in the chamois resist the dye in places, creating a marbled finish that's different every time. Then it's contact-cemented to the centre of the strap underside — exactly where it sits on your shoulder.
The steel buckle is fed onto the webbing at the adjustment end before the leather tips go on — once the tips are riveted, the hardware is locked in place permanently.
Each leather tip is cut from full-grain leather in your chosen colour. If you've added a name stamp, it's pressed in now using steel letter punches and a mallet — one character at a time — before the tip is riveted on.
The leather tips fold over each end of the webbing and are set with steel rivets in your chosen hardware colour. The stitching around the tip edge is done in your chosen colour — blending in, matching the chamois, or white for contrast.
Leather tip edges are bevelled and burnished. Two rubber strap blocks are included — they clip over the strap ends and stop the strap working loose from your guitar mid-set. The whole strap gets a final check, then it's packed and shipped to order.
