DETAILS

FOLK-style: a traditional leather mandolin strap with a shoulder pad 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 play. 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 removeable 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.

Made in Canada

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

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.

Mandolin strap

The strap is very nice and well made.
Unfortunately it is too long for me.
I will have to add another hole further up the strap.

The Best!

Just received my second Ochre mandolin strap - now a great strap on each of my instruments. Everything about Ochre is top drawer - the service, the turnaround, the value, and most importantly, the fine straps. And Canadian made! Well crafted, and comfortable - a fine addition to my cherished Nyberg Celtic mandolin.

Awesome birthday gift!

Excellent quality Canadian made strap! I play an A style Mando, so I modified it to fit around my upper bout, but it fits great regardless! If it ever wears out I'll be getting another one!
