How to Choose the Perfect Strap for You

Finding the right strap shouldn’t be a compromise between comfort, beauty, and function. At Rhea Artistry Studio, every detail of our straps—from the width to the fabric to the hardware—is intentionally chosen to enhance your everyday experience. Here’s how to select the strap that best suits your lifestyle, body, and sense of style.

Cotton Webbing Over Polyester: A Purposeful Choice

We chose cotton webbing over polyester because comfort matters. Cotton is naturally softer, breathable, and kinder on your skin. Unlike synthetic webbing that can feel stiff or slippery, cotton gently molds to your body over time. It doesn't leave harsh indentations or pressure lines, even after hours of wear. Our mission is to eliminate those dreaded red marks traditional straps leave behind, and give you something that feels good and looks good.

Strap Widths: 1.5" vs. 2"

We offer two thoughtfully designed width options:

  • 1.5-inch wide straps: Ideal for smaller or medium-sized bags. These are perfect if you prefer a more minimal, lightweight feel, or if you notice that straps tend to slip off your shoulders. They offer a more streamlined, subtle silhouette without compromising strength.
  • 2-inch wide straps: Designed for comfort and support, especially when you're carrying a heavier load. Great for broad shoulders or larger totes, these distribute weight more evenly to help avoid shoulder fatigue or pinching.

Choose based on your daily carry: the size of your bag, the weight you typically carry, and how the strap feels on your shoulder.

Embroidered Ribbons: Where Craft Meets Couture

Every strap features embroidered ribbons sourced directly from Indian artisans. These laces aren’t just decorative—they are expressions of cultural heritage, often used in high-end designer and couture pieces. These artisans have honed their craft over generations, creating ribbons that are as durable as they are exquisite.

Each design bursts with color and spirit. The multi-thread embroidery reflects joy, celebration, and centuries of artistry. We don’t just use these laces for beauty’s sake; we use them because they last, they matter, and they carry a piece of history in every stitch.

Reinforced for Longevity

When we sew each strap, we reinforce the seams multiple times to ensure durability. We know you may use these every day—for work, for travel, for parenting, or for art—so they’re built to hold up. Handmade doesn’t mean delicate. It means intentionally crafted for the long run.

Swivel Hooks: Maximum Versatility

Each strap is finished with heavy-duty swivel hooks (also known as lobster clasps), making them incredibly versatile. Use your strap as a:

  • Camera strap
  • Guitar strap
  • Bag or purse strap
  • Laptop or lunchbox strap
  • Lanyard for phone or ID

It’s your creativity that makes it yours. The hardware makes it easy to swap out or switch bags in seconds.

How to Attach Your Strap

Attaching your strap is simple:

  • Bags: Clip each swivel hook to the side D-rings or hardware loops.
  • Cameras: Use the split rings or loop adapters that come with your camera or are available online. Our clasps fit most connector rings.
  • Guitars: Clip to the strap buttons or rings using strap adapters.
