P-SC520021

Unique and beautiful guitar strap [P-SC520021] - hand made in Japan from vintage silk kimono, leather and brass

Brand new Singing Crane handmade vintage silk kimono obi guitar strap

Primary obi colour: gold black (front) / black (reverse)

This is our premium silver line guitar strap.
Our premium guitar straps are cut from high grade kimono obis – more intricately woven, more rare colours and higher craftsmanship. Each strap is Individually sewn with stunning Japanese multi-coloured silk thread on hand-selected, carefully matched leathers for the strap ends.

Every Singing Crane strap is one-of-a-kind, one of three variations from the same Obi on the front, and this strap has a black colour reverse, with hand picked matching leathers and stitching. 

Each has a unique, hand-stamped serial number. All are handmade in Kyoto from recycled vintage silk kimono obis and repurposed leather off-cuts.

These are really original and beautiful straps - super strong, light and durable. Silk is the strongest natural fabric. The kimono obi is the most expensive and gorgeous part of a Japanese woman's kimono outfit - the obi itself can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

This is a new item, but each obi has small variations and irregularities in the fabric from the previous lives as a much sought after fashion item. Please check the strap photos carefully.
