Exclusive Limited-Edition Camera Strap by Alan Schaller
Introducing a limited-edition camera strap, created in collaboration with internationally acclaimed photographer Alan Schaller. Available exclusively through our official online store, this unique item is a celebration of Schaller’s deep appreciation for Artisan & Artist’s commitment to craftsmanship.
The Fusion of Alan Schaller’s Vision and Artisan Craftsmanship
Alan Schaller, a London-based photographer renowned for his bold black-and-white imagery, has brought his signature visual style to life in this special camera strap. Designed in striking black and white contrasts, the strap reflects the elegance and drama of Schaller’s monochrome world.
It is handwoven using the traditional Yurugi-gumi technique—a centuries-old silk braiding method that provides both exceptional durability and a refined, artistic touch.
One side of the strap features a perforated 35mm film pattern, while the reverse showcases geometric motifs inspired by Schaller’s work. These dual designs reflect the dynamic rhythm of his photography. The leather backing is gold-embossed with “ALAN SCHALLER 1st EDITION,” making each piece a truly collectible item.
Crafted with Premium Silk Cord for Ultimate Comfort
Expertly woven by artisans in Kyoto, Japan, the strap uses the highest-quality silk cord known for its beautiful sheen and soft texture. The Yurugi-gumi method not only prevents twisting but also offers exceptional comfort—ideal for long shooting sessions. Whether worn around the neck or wrapped around the hand, the strap’s flexibility and ease of adjustment make it both elegant and practical.
Special Packaging with Photograph of Mt. Fuji
To commemorate this collaboration, each strap includes an exclusive photograph of Mt. Fuji, captured by Schaller from above. Printed on textured fine-art paper with subtle ridges, the photo highlights the sophisticated shadows of his monochrome work. Each print comes with Schaller’s signature stamp, adding value as a collector’s item.
Limited to Just 500 Pieces Worldwide
With only 500 pieces produced globally, this collaboration represents a rare convergence of visual artistry and traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
Alan Schaller x Artisan & Artist — exclusive, timeless, and highly collectible.

Please note:
Due to the nature of the woven design of the silk camera strap, slight variations in length may exist — in some cases even up to 10cm beyond the stated length — as each strap is individually handcrafted. This is not a defect, but a characteristic of the artisanal braiding technique used.Additionally, because of the way the strap is woven, it may temporarily stretch under the weight of a camera — but will naturally return to its original length over time.
For these reasons, returns or exchanges based on slight length variation will not be accepted.

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.
