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.
Thanks to the Hawkesmill team I received two black Kensington straps …for my pair of Nikon Z6 bodies and they are proving to be the best, most comfortable and least attention grabbing straps that I have ever owned. Brilliant!. – Peter Russell
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.
• High-quality, large rivets to ensure durability and longevity.
• 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.

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.

Bought this strap for my X-Pro2 and it suits it perfectly. The leather is top notch and the strap is beautifully crafted. Sits nicely around the neck or on the shoulder. Definitely exceeded expectations.

I spent a very long time searching for premium leather camera straps online. There are sooooo many options! However, this is one of the few camera straps made in England. So I went for it.
Couldn’t be happier! Fits my Olympus Pen F like a glove!

I wasn’t sure whether or not I’d be happy with this strap. I mean how much better could it be versus my Nikon strap. I was very wrong. And now I can’t see myself having any other strap other than one of these!
That horrible stock nylon strap looks awful on my D500 now. This strap just does a much better job. It’s better looking. It is more comfortable and I really like that it is aging with me based on how I use it. That’s the great thing about these handmade straps. If you use your strap every day and use it heavily, it shows and you can be proud of that wear. If you baby it and keep it pristine, the strap ages very gracefully. But either way it shows how you use your camera.
Anyway it’s a great product and I’m definitely happy I purchased it.

I had another leather strap from a US company. I liked it but when I got my Sony A9 I wanted to bling it up with a different strap. One that was a little more unique and less people had.
I chose Hawkesmill because they have an awesome reputation and they make their leather camera straps with Horween Chromexcel leather. Which I am obsessed with! This strap doesn’t disappoint! I am more than happy with it.
It is comfortable, looks amazing on the camera and doesn’t get in my way.

Never thought I’d love a piece of leather so much. It has become one of my favorite things. Love the “Handmade in England” stamping. Nice touch!

Exactly what my Fujifilm X-T20 needed. The best camera strap I’ve come across. Soft, nice to look at, holds my camera. I never fear it breaking. Comes with a little guide to keeping the strap in tip top shape. Thanks a lot!

Amazing leather strap made locally in England! Perfect for my Nikon FM3a. Very comfortable and the leather is beautifully soft. Customer service was excellent as well!

Simply superb.

I’ve tried a few camera straps and I’ve mostly been unimpressed. So when I was given this strap by my girlfriend I didn’t have very high hopes. I was very wrong. It’s comfortable, nice looking and so far after more than a year is holding up really well.
I am meticulous about my gear and the care guide included with the strap was a really nice touch. It has helped me keep the strap in pristine condition.

I’ve been searching for the perfect strap to compliment my old Leica M6. I’ve tried just about everything else and nothing else seemed right until I found the Kensington Leather Strap. The leather is so supple and soft and it matches the whole vibe/aesthetic of the camera. I also love supporting small British businesses and I can report that Shaan and the team at Hawkesmill represent everything that’s great about British craftsmanship and excellent customer service. I could not recommend them any more. Thanks, Allan

Nice leather strap for my Nikon Z8. It’s super comfy and looks sharp, making it perfect for all day shooting. It really upgrades your camera’s vibe. Recently took it to Athens for a long weekend and it my camera never felt uncomfortable. It isn’t the thickest strap but still comfortable.
