FOLK-style · leather mandolin strap

FOLK-style: A custom leather mandolin strap for A-style and F-style mandolins.

Handmade Leather Mandolin Strap - heritage leathercraft, premium materials, and minimalist design that won't steal the show.

The FOLK-style is a comfortable mandolin strap for everyday extended sessions. Handmade with careful attention to detail, it features a 2cm slim profile and a sliding shoulder pad for added comfort. This lightweight, padded design balances simplicity and support: on stage, at the campfire, and everywhere in between.

This strap is crafted using full grain harness leather from the Wickett & Craig tannery - the kind of leather that improves with age. It is especially well-suited for music straps: soft springy feel, superb durability, brilliant burnish, and an almost supernatural patina.

Made in Canada

These straps are handmade in Caledon, Ontario using heritage leathercraft and traditional vegetable-tanned leathers. They will be at your service for many years, taking on a rich character with age.

Every hide is different, and each one will have its own signature look; range markings, scars, and wrinkles give each piece a unique character. The color examples were photographed under natural light, and they're a good representation of how the leather looks in person, but some variation is always to be expected. With regular exposure to dirt and everyday life, the materials will darken and take on a warm patina.
