We are pleased to share a minor updated version of the beautiful gradient-colored flat silk cord camera strap, "Ayatake Gradation Silk-Cord Strap". They are available in two lengths: ACAM-312A (Standard Length) and ACAM-322A (Long Length).

Silk Cord Strap with Traditional Craft

This camera strap, crafted from silk cord, is beloved as a stylish accessory for traditional Japanese attire. The strap showcases the unique, soft texture and beautiful luster of silk, while the craftsmanship of skilled artisans in Kyoto ensures that each piece is durable yet gentle on the skin. The strap is carefully woven using the ‘Ayatake’ technique, a traditional method dating back to the Kamakura period, originally used for making ‘omogai’ (decorative cords for horse gear, including bridles and reins).

Stunning Gradient with Natural Dyes

The distinctive feature of this weaving style is its ability to create a variety of patterns depending on how the threads are combined. The strap features a stunning gradient transition from black to red and from black to silver, showcasing subtle color changes that are meticulously dyed using natural dyes. The experienced artisans adjust the dyeing process according to the temperature and humidity to achieve the perfect tone.

Comfortable and Versatile Design

The flat weave design reduces strain on the neck, while the fine weaving ensures a soft feel against the skin. With its inherent flexibility, the strap can also be wrapped around the hand or tied to adjust its length, making it highly versatile. Please note that the strap is designed with dual-ring connections and is not compatible with cameras that use a tape slit connection.

Updated with Longer Length and Durability

In this updated release, a longer 1,170 mm version (ACAM-322A) has been added to the collection. The updated model features stainless steel rings that are stronger, more durable, and less stressful on the fingers or nails during attachment and removal. Additionally, the leather parts are unified in black to complement the strap's elegant gradient.

Combining Beauty and Functionality

This strap combines Japan's traditional beauty with high functionality, offering a luxurious feel each time it is used. It will elevate your photography experience, bringing exceptional moments to your everyday shoots.
