As a passionate photographer, you will be wearing your camera strap a lot. That is why we wanted our straps to be more than a just a piece of equipment, enabling you to bring along your camera to a shoot. We wanted them to be made of a high-quality material to provide for an extremely comfortable wearing sensation. We envisioned them to be durable enough to accompany you on your photographic journeys for decades with a minimalistic and timeless design that will stand the test of time. The outcome of our vision is a truly unique product and a perfect companion for every photographer – the Leica Rope Strap.
When you manufacture camera straps, choosing the right material is key. Designed to carry the cameras of adventurous people during their photography endeavors, our Leica Rope Straps just had to be made of a robust material that has proven its durability under extreme stress. So what better material could you think of then high-quality mountaineering rope? The heavy-duty material ensures the safety of your camera, while providing a rugged yet stylish look. The end pieces are made of vegetable-tanned Italian leather and are firmly sewn onto the wear-resistant climbing rope by hand. The Leica Rope Straps are available with two different fastening options: you can choose between SO straps or solid metal rings.
There is something fascinating about hand-made products. You can literally feel the love and dedication that flows into the creation of those truly unique pieces of artisan craftwork. That is why we attach great priority to finding production facilities that meet the standards, we set ourselves in terms of quality, local production, and social responsibility. Our Leica Rope Straps are produced in a small family-run workshop in Hungary. Carefully crafted by hand every strap is the result of skilled workmanship combined with a passion for detail.
Longevity and quality are two key features that can be found in all COOPH products. When it comes to our cooperations, we are looking for those same two traits. Establishing a long and fruitful partnership is only possible when the partners pursue the same goals and share the same values – and in Leica we have found a perfect match. We both have a similar mind set when it comes to producing high-value photo equipment and finding innovative solutions to existing problems. It is not surprising that our longstanding collaboration gave birth to some outstanding products of impeccable quality and unique style – such as the Leica Rope Straps.
When you follow your passion, it is always gratifying to see that the work and effort you put into giving shape to your vision doesn’t go unnoticed. That is why we were more than proud when the Leica Rope Strap was announced the winner of the highly respected European Product Design Award. The award-winning products are elected by a professional jury, recognizing the year’s most unique product designs conceived to improve our daily lives with a practical and beautiful creation. Our straps also walked away the Bronze Winner of the 2018 International Design Award. The annual awards aims to recognize, celebrate and promote legendary design visionaries and to uncover emerging talent in Architecture, Interior, Product, Graphic and Fashion Design.
