Description A refined silk-braided strap designed as a stylish accessory inspired by traditional Japanese attire. Crafted from premium silk, it offers a uniquely soft texture and elegant appearance that highlights the delicate beauty of natural fibres. Traditional Craftsmanship Made by a renowned Kyoto braiding workshop, this strap is carefully constructed and meticulously hand-finished by skilled artisans, ensuring both durability and comfort against the skin. Sasanami Weave Design The braid features the wide “Sasanami-gumi” style, showcasing the classic sasanami pattern—an iconic kimono motif also known as the “Michinaga pattern,” historically favoured by Fujiwara no Michinaga during the Heian period (794–1185). This distinctive design brings a refined, cultural aesthetic to a modern accessory. Thoughtful Construction The attachment points use black leather and hand stitching to securely fasten the strap to your camera while subtly enhancing the intricate braid design. Comfort & Usability Soft, flexible, and slightly stretchable, the silk construction feels gentle on the skin and allows the strap to be comfortably wrapped around the hand, balancing practicality with style. Size & Compatibility Available in two lengths; this version is the longer 120cm option, ideal for wearing diagonally across the body. Width is 18mm. Please note: this is a ring-type strap designed for cameras with eyelets and is not compatible with tape-type camera eyelets.
