The Mushroom Guitar Strap
Step into the forest without leaving the stage. A warm golden vinyl body cut from genuine 1970s upholstery, with hand-sewn mushroom appliques — a little woodland weirdness for psych, folk, doom, or whatever doesn't fit in a category.

Each mushroom is individually sewn from two pieces of vintage vinyl, in three color combos.
Warm vintage vinyl
The golden body wears in like a favorite thrift-store find — because it's real upholstery vinyl from that same era.

Guitar Strap Care Guide
Vinyl is about as low-maintenance as it gets — no conditioning, no special oils, no fuss. Here’s how to keep your Couch strap (and your guitar) looking great for years.
Everyday Care
- Wipe it down after sweaty gigs or practice sessions with a damp cloth — vinyl doesn’t stain or soak in the way leather does.
- Skip the leather conditioners and saddle soap. Every Couch strap is vinyl, not leather, so those products won’t do anything for it — just plain water on a cloth is plenty.
- Store it somewhere dry and out of prolonged direct sun; like any colored material, extended sun exposure can fade it over time.
- Adjust the length with the slide buckle — no need to punch new holes or stretch it in.
Know Your Guitar’s Finish
- Poly / polyurethane finish (most modern, factory-made guitars): totally fine with any strap material — no precautions needed.
- Nitro-cellulose lacquer finish (vintage instruments, custom shop builds, some higher-end Gibsons): case it up when not playing, and keep sweat, cologne, and alcohol away.
A vinyl strap won’t hurt a modern poly finish. If you’ve got a vintage or nitro-finished guitar, just avoid leaving any strap — ours or anyone else’s — cinched against it for extended storage, same as you’d avoid leaving it on a stand for months.
Have a polyurethane finish on your guitar? You’re in the clear — but if you want the full rundown on finishes and straps, check out Nitro or Poly? What Your Guitar’s Finish Means for Your Strap on our blog.
