Our leather camera straps are made from Horween Chromexcel leather. Handmade in England, of course, in a factory which has a combined experience of more than 200 years making leather goods.
Kensington Leather Camera Strap
We tried dozens of leathers before settling on Horween Chromexcel for our leather camera straps. We were looking for a leather that was durable and could take daily abuse, but that was soft on the interior of the neck pad. Some leathers seemed to work, but had terrible colour-transference. Our white shirt collars were left with stains. Horween Chromexcel is, in our minds, the only leather worth using for camera straps.
• Six sizes available: 80cm – (31.5″), 90cm – (35 1/2″), 100cm – (39 3/8″), 110cm – (43 5/16″), 120cm – (47 1/4″) and 130cm – (51 1/5″). Measured from split ring to split ring (key ring). Please note: if ordering with a Peak Design anchor the length will be 10cm longer. If you require a specific size, please order one size down to accommodate for the anchor links.
• Width: 1.5cm
• Two colours available: black and brown.
• Several thread colours are available: black, dark brown, orange, navy, red and soft pink. The default thread colour is orange for our brown straps and red for our black straps. Our thread comes from Amann & Söhne. A German textile company that has been in business since 1854.
• Horween Chromexcel leather. Known for its durability and softness, as well as its lack of colour-transference. Meaning, the dye will not rub off on your clothes.
• Recommended max weight is 5lbs. Although straps have been tested to support weight up to 30lbs without breaking or splitting.
• Lug mount. Fits all lug mount cameras, including Nikon, Leica, Olympus, Sony, Fujifilm and most 35mm vintage cameras.
• We use the finest quality 304 stainless steel split rings and provide you with multiple rings in case you ever need to replace them.
• Most of our camera straps can be personalised. We stamp up to 3 letters on the strap. On the Westminster and Kensington straps we personalise just above our needle and thread logo. On our Oxford wrist strap we personalise just above our Hawkesmill England brand logo. We do not allow custom placements. Please note: we do not allow returns, or exchanges on straps which have been personalised unless faulty.

Reviews
I can clearly, without hesitation, say that this is one of the finest leather camera straps I have ever seen or owned. The leather is soft, the stitching is flawless. As usual – you get what you pay for. Several websites have already labeled Hawkesmill as the best camera strap in the world and I have to agree 100%. – Read full review.
The Hawkesmill camera straps are incredibly well made, feel great, and overall have a nice appeal to them. They surely do their job and they do it rather well. If you want one strap that’s absolutely perfect and gives you room to make adjustments accordingly, then spring for these straps. – Read full review.
Overall I absolutely cannot fault this strap so can comfortably give it a 10/10, and I’m generally fussy. Sure the price is high but so is the quality. Buy one of these and you’ll probably not need another for at least ten years. – Read full review.

I found this company by searching for camera straps online. Hawkesmill came highly recommended by some of the sites I already followed. So it was kind of a no brainer.
But still, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I can testify that this is one of the finest things I have ever used. Not just camera straps, but of anything I own. This is so top notch. I love their ethos of making things that break in and don’t wear out. It follows my own personal ethos. A very nice strap indeed. I get compliments on it all the time.

Saw their ad a million times. Thought it was bollocks. Gave in and bought it and love it. x

Strap arrived and I have to say it looks dynamite. Instant flashback to the strap on my first camera, a Konica rangefinder. You nail it with great branding on the stamping on the packaging as well. Love your details. Hope you have a great holiday!

Absolutely stunning camera strap. Really nice to feel straight out of the packaging. Easy to put on and they even give you a couple of extra split rings in case you need them. Top quality product all around, very happy.
