Exclusive Limited-Edition Camera Strap by Alan Schaller
Introducing a limited-edition camera strap, created in collaboration with the internationally acclaimed photographer, Alan Schaller. Available exclusively through our official online store, this unique item is a celebration of Schaller’s admiration for Artisan & Artist’s craftsmanship.
The Fusion of Alan Schaller’s Vision and Artisan Craftsmanship
Alan Schaller, a London-based photographer renowned for his striking black-and-white imagery, has infused his iconic visual style into this special camera strap. Designed with bold black and white contrasts, it mirrors the elegance and drama of Schaller’s monochrome photography. The strap is handwoven using the traditional Yurugi-gumi technique, a celebrated silk braiding method that adds both beauty and durability to the design.
The strap features the ‘Kuro Kasuri’ pattern, with each side offering its own unique design: one side showcases a perforated 35mm film pattern, while the reverse is adorned with geometric motifs inspired by Schaller’s works. These intricate details embody the dynamic nature of his photography, while the leather backing is gold-embossed with the signature "ALAN SCHALLER 1st EDITION" to mark this special collaboration.
Crafted with Premium Silk Cord for Ultimate Comfort
Expertly woven by skilled artisans in Kyoto, Japan, this strap uses the highest-quality silk cord known for its luxurious texture and beautiful sheen. The traditional Yurugi-gumi braiding method not only ensures a comfortable fit but also prevents twisting, making it a perfect choice for long photo sessions. Soft against the skin, the silk’s flexibility allows for easy length adjustments, whether worn around the neck or wrapped around the hand.
Special Packaging with Photograph of Mt. Fuji
To commemorate this collaboration, each strap comes with a photograph of Mt. Fuji, captured by Schaller from above. Printed on premium textured paper with subtle ridges, the photo accentuates the delicate and sophisticated shadows of Schaller’s work. Each print includes his signature stamp, enhancing its value as a collector’s item.
Limited to Just 500 Pieces Worldwide
With only 500 units available globally, this camera strap is a true collector’s item. A fusion of Alan Schaller’s artistry and Artisan & Artist’s renowned craftsmanship, this exclusive strap encapsulates the essence of both artistry and functionality.
Alan Schaller x Artisan&Artist exclusive collaboration.

FAQ
While we understand the desire to maintain the pristine condition of your silk straps, we encourage embracing the natural evolution they undergo over time. The gradual softening and development of a unique patina add to the charm and character of the product. Washing the strap is not recommended; however, at your own risk, you could try gently dabbing it with a cloth dampened with a mild detergent designed for delicate fabrics.
Our range of products is crafted with versatilityin mind, catering to a wide array of camera models beyond just Leica. While the majority of our products are compatible with most cameras, we advise considering the attachment mechanism when selecting a strap and checking the fit for your specific camera when choosing bags or pouches. Presently, our camera half cases are exclusively tailored for Leica cameras.
Designed with both protection and convenience in mind, our camera pouches serve as a safeguard for your valuable equipment. While our camera bags and backpacks offer dedicated compartments with internal padding for direct storage, our pouches provide an additional layer of security for cameras, lenses, and accessories when placed inside your preferred casual bag or backpack.
