A brand-new item is almost ready for release!

It’s a wrist strap.

We haven’t given it a name yet, but well fitted to wrist and size adjustable, very handy strap for sure!  If I compare to the other ULYSSES products, SPUTNIK should be the closest friend.

It’s before our quality test, but we have high hope that it will do well in the position between ARCIERE and SPUTNIK and match the camera sizes in the gap.

In fact, we gave a glimpse of the new strap in the past blog posts.

and again as a mushrooms

 

Our craftsmen are currently in the process of production and the final sample is at their hand. I show some exclusive images of the new strap samples and write a bit of behind- the scenes information on making process before we can reveal product photo officially.

 

Some for starts. They are the samples before we fixed the basic shape of the strap.

Looking them now again, I can see how we changed the details. From hand stitch to metal fitting, assembly changes and arrangement of stitch design… It was a process of trial and error. At the very end, we had to make a new leather cutter which was for a tiny amendment, probably not noticeable from a distance.

About leather of this strap, we decided to use a new leather instead of PUEBRO leather which we use often for our products. This new leather is very unique with irregularly dyed pattern. It helps to give a rich expression to the strap.

The strap is due to be released next month, so please wait till then:)
