  • Details
    This is a Handmade Leather Guitar Strap Featuring Hand Painted Koi and Lotus with fully adjustable sizing to fit your perfect custom height.

    The base color of the main section of this strap is hand dyed in Antique Black. The koi fish and lotus blooms are permanently etched into the leather and hand painted, so each is unique in its style and colors. The slot pieces are etched with a fish scale pattern and hand dyed in Antique Tan. The adjustable straps are hand dyed in Antique Black. The colors and designs come together to make a remarkable piece.

    This guitar strap would be an amazingly thoughtful gift for a guitar or bass player, particularly those who enjoy Japanese Koi and the lotus or water lily. The thick leather and width make it suitable for all types of guitars, from a light acoustic to a heavier guitar or bass. It feels good on the shoulder and looks incredible.

    How I made it:
     
    This Guitar Strap was hand cut from thick and rugged vegetable tanned (naturally tanned) cowhide.  The pieces were precision cut & tooled with the designs being permanently etched into the leather. It was specially hand dyed to enhance the natural beauty of the leather. Selected portions of the strap were hand painted with specialty paints for leather. Several top coats were applied to add a subtle satin finish that will both enhance the beauty and longevity of your strap. Like the best songs, this guitar strap will just get better with time.

Sizing details

There are many different sizes of card decks, so be sure to check your specific deck's measurement against your listing before ordering.

Most tarot card cases are sized to house a standard sized tarot deck or smaller. The standard cases will house this size deck or smaller:

2 7/8 inches (72mm) wide
1.25 inches (32mm) deep
4 15/16 inches (125mm) tall.

All our standard size tarot cases are tested at the time of creation and prior to shipping, using a classic RW deck from a US publisher. We also have listings in our shop for palm sized (slightly smaller) or oversized decks. If you need a larger case to fit your specific deck, I would be happy to custom build one for you. Please feel free to message me with your ideas and deck measurements.

What is vegetable tanned leather?

Vegetable tanning is an organic process to preserve the leather. It uses natural tannins from plant sources, making it more environmentally friendly. It’s a slow process which takes weeks to months to complete.

Vegetable-tanned leather has some rigidity to it, which helps the product to retain its shape and integrity. Vegetable-tanned leather will soften and develop a rich patina over time, meaning your item will develop a unique and appealing appearance as it ages, only getting better with time.

By contrast, chrome-tanned leather is quickly chemically and more inexpensively tanned. It may present toxins to the environment and manufacturing employees. "Vegan", faux, or PU leather is petroleum-based polyurethane/vinyl.
