DETAILS

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.

  • 2cm width
  • Length range: 115–135cm (45"–53")
  • Sliding removable shoulder pad 
  • Compatible with both F-style and A-style mandolins
  • All edges rounded and burnished smooth for comfort and durability
  • Optional personalization with name or monogram

*The narrow section which sits under the strings/florentine measures 1.5cm wide by 3mm thick. Please ensure this sizing will work with your instrument.

LEATHER

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.

Absolutely excellent quality and a superb value

I did quite some research to find the right strap for my Weber Yellowstone F-5 shape mandolin. The Ochre strap was an easy choice, once I found it. Top quality, a color selection that was an ideal fit for the shade of my instrument, and perfect fit for attaching to the scroll. I wholeheartedly recommend this strap to anyone looking for a work of art to complement their instrument.

The leather looked a little thicker and more durable in the
photographs vs what I received for how much I paid. It's pretty soft.
