Our straps are meant to travel, be used on the road, on stage, around a campfire, and at home. In Blue Handmade outfits many musicians, and we have been studying the use of our straps on tour for years. We are proud to bring these to our retail lineup of handmade, sustainable leather goods! Our straps have graced the headlining stages of many festivals (including Newport Folk Fest, Bonnaroo, SXSW, and many more), late-night tv shows (Letterman, Saturday Night Live, and so many more) and oh-so-many tours.

Our leather just officially got a full makeover! We now have a DECLARE label on all of the leather in this line, ensuring the lowest eco-footprint possible with NO HARSH chemicals, meeting the highest standards of excellence in leather tanning. This means our tanning and farming process meets the highest humane practices with the farms we work with and state of the art water filtration systems and labor practices with the tanneries that work with these farms! We are so excited to introduce you to this leather! Made from our eco-tanned, second-source leather, this is a beautiful piece that will last a lifetime.
