No. 01 - Leather Camera Strap, Black
A simple leather camera strap, elevated to its full potential: This camera strap is designed for the minimalist. No buckles or extras to get tangled.
Handmade in Canada, from 6oz full-grain leather, and solid brass components. This piece will soften, develop a beautiful patina that will be unique to how you use it. Use, and exposure to natural elements, as well as oil from your hands will speed up this process. Our Natural colorway will darken, and after about a year, take on a rich tan/caramel tone. The brown colour has been hand-dyed, and will only get better looking with time.
Each piece has been oiled, conditioned, and lightly buffed. To ensure the grain is healthy and will live a long life.
Our Review
Fieldwork No. 01 Leather Camera Strap — The Purist’s Fixed Leather Strap
The gist: A fixed 36” handmade-in-Canada leather strap with no buckles, no hardware, just 6oz full-grain leather and solid brass split rings — the cleanest minimal travel strap for photographers who want their camera to hang exactly right, every time.
- Fixed 36” length: No adjustment hardware means no rattling, no moving parts, and no risk of accidental loosening — the strap sits at a consistent position whether walking, shooting, or running for a gate.
- 6oz full-grain leather: Starts firm and dense, softens with body heat and use, develops a personal patina that makes it look more premium the longer it’s carried.
- Solid brass components: Direct split-ring attachment works with any standard camera strap lug — no proprietary connector, no anchor to lose, no system lock-in.
- Handmade in Canada: Individual production with natural variation — each strap ages into something unique over years of daily carry.
The Phoblographer described Fieldwork’s leather straps as “simply beautiful — clean, minimal, made from leather that will outlast every other strap in your bag and look better for every year of use.”
Best for: Street and travel photographers who prefer a fixed-length strap, love leather aesthetics, and want the simplest possible connection between their camera and body. Skip it if: You need length adjustment for different shooting heights or quick-release compatibility with a camera bag system. Runs ~$55 — check the current price before buying.
