This leather eagle guitar strap is hand drawn, cut, carved, tooled, dyed, and finished. Personalize this strap with any name or initials. Made from high quality full-grain vegetable tanned leather, this strap unlined and is durable. The eagle design is original. The body of the strap is 2.5" wide. The adjustment strap is 1" wide. A water resistant finish has been applied. Please include the name/initials in the text box. Personalize this strap with up to 7 letters, or write "none" in the text box if you would like the eagle design without the name. If the name has 4 letters or more, 3/4″ size lettering will be used as this will minimize how much the name folds over the shoulder when worn due to limited space. Where the name folds over the shoulder is only an estimate, as this will depend on the guitar player's height, build, and how low or high they wear the strap when playing. The name will be positioned vertically on the strap (see examples in the listing photos). There are two options for guitar strap length; Standard ( approx. 43"-53"), or Long (approx. 53"-62"). For those who are tall or who like to wear their guitar lower, you may want to select the "Long" option. This product will be made-to-order without machinery.

About Me and My Work:
My leather craft career began after I inherited leather craft tools from my father. When I was younger, I had the privilege of working with a group of blacksmiths that expressed such passion in their trade, that they shared it with anyone. The items these craftsmen made were made with such skill and beauty that they far surpassed manufactured products. These blacksmiths taught me how work from craftsmen that value their trade, create high quality pieces of art that are timeless. I enjoyed leather craft as a hobby as I went on to pursue a career in dog training. I worked my way up to training working dogs and discovered a need for high quality training products.
Sometime later, I interned at a museum and was able to view historical pieces that were made with such craftsmanship that they survived centuries later. I also had the privilege of meet various traditional craftsmen at the museum that carried not only the passion, skill, and knowledge of their trade, but imbued pieces of their traditions and culture in their products as well. This inspired me to take my leather craft hobby and turn it into something more…
Certain life experiences, have taught me that life is short, and that if you have a passion for something to pursue it. I aim to make products that are long-lasting, practical, and unique. I also aim to continue learning my trade, and to continue to pass down some of the knowledge and traditions that I have been so fortunate to have experienced.
I strive to keep craftsmanship going. I am Lauren Gosciminski, founder of The Leather Smithy.
