Very comfortable strap ... attractive, timeless design. Very happy with this purchase.

Because the camera (Nikon) I purchased neglected to mention that there was a camera strap included (but they DID mention the charger and batteries, case, etc.), I purchased this strap. Happily, even though the other was functional, this one has an artistic pattern reminiscent of the rich rugs of the Far East or of patterns in the Alhambra. Reds, oranges, blacks, blues, and yellows. NOT pink. I like that I'm not providing free advertising for the camera company.
The strap is sturdy, w/a padded area in the middle underside. This material is a very thick, soft velvety velour-ized plastic (?) outside, with a plasticized pad inside--not gel-like. When compressing it, it's like paper, but fluffy (?)--not crackly. (It's REALLY hard to describe.) This may account for the reviews where sensitive folk say it's not very padded. I didn't have any problems at all like >95% of people out there; the width and pad disseminate the pressure over your neck or shoulder. There are two slide devices on each side. The smaller one one-holed slide is to slide down near the camera post after the strap passes around and back through the slide to lock it down near the post. Unfortunately, this one was a wee bit too loose for my satisfaction, even though both ends of the strap are passed through both holes of the larger slide at the higher end and seems ok. (I suspect they made the hole bigger in the one-holed slide for people with poor hand strength or dexterity); to be able to get the strap through a smaller aperture would be painful.) To increase MY confidence, at the end to the straps, I tied it in a KNOT on each side. Later, I will be sewing it down (without the knot!) with quilting thread. I'm NuhNuhNOT going to have a $$$ camera end up on the ground. I apologize if the portion about the slides is confusing. There are You-Tube videos on how to secure straps to cameras. Best of Luck if you buy this strap. It is lovely, but not effeminate--because of it's patterning, hub#1 can use it without thinking that it's girly. [Unlike the insecurities of hub#2 (ex).] It's made here in the US also! I highly recommend it and would buy it again, even with the other camera strap being free.

I bought this bohemian style camera strap last year for traveling abroad. Just getting back and catching up with procrastinated items, I wanted to place a review in some of the products I purchased but have not reviewed yet. This camera strap is sturdy, well made and has vibrant colors. I was using this strap for my Nikon DSLR and was easy to slip into the hooks. None of the stitching design came loose as I manhandled this in my backpack or lugged it on my shoulder without any discomfort. If you like the gypsy or bohemian design, this is definitely the perfect one!

I just recieved this strap and the delivery was lightening fast. The strap is beautiful and very well made. I bought this strap to use with my Nikon D5200. There is plenty of room for adjustments in length. For me it is very comfortable around my neck and it easily supports the camera. It is a thousand times more comfortable than the thin strap that came with my camera. As others have stated the velvet lining inside the neck portion of the strap is a little "grippy", but it is not intrusive. I have no complaints regarding this strap and am very pleased with my purchase.

A very well made camera strap with colerfull detailed embroidery. Vintage look and not fried enough that your camera is slung over your neck/shoulder precariously holding on to a thread that was woven in the 70's. I wear mine across my body and it was plenty long enough for me...and being a 6' 4" 280 lb Male...I had no issue with the pretty-ness of it! The felt backing does grip onto your clothing so I fashioned mine with quick release clips on the ends of the strap only to make it easier to remove. Also I hate the straps that come with the camera's...they are either two week feeling for me or they advertise the camera maker in big letters. Forgive me but even though I am a large framed guy I refuse to be a walking billboard for the company or any opportunistic thief's. I would definitely buy another strap from this company...if mine ever wears out!
