The Turquoise Desert Hippie Weave Guitar Strap
Turquoise Desert
Rust, clay, turquoise, sun-faded gold and midnight blue, woven into the pattern that defined the guitar strap in the late ’60s and early ’70s. A tribute to that era, built with a two-rivet tab construction to match.
A whole high desert landscape, woven in
We call it Turquoise Desert because it carries the full range of a high desert palette — rust, clay, turquoise, sun-faded gold and midnight blue. It reads like a drive through Joshua Tree at golden hour that somehow keeps going into the night.
This isn’t a reissue. It’s a strap that looks like it came from 1969 and works like it was built for today.
Two rivets, on purpose
For this run we built a two-rivet front tab instead of our usual three — the exact construction those original woven straps carried. It is a small detail that only a strap person would clock, and it is the detail this whole run is built around.
- Two-rivet front tab construction (limited-run detail)
- Exclusive in-tab logo, heat-stamped (limited-run only)
- White vinyl end tabs
Vintage look, modern reliability
Custom steel hardware and a durable recycled seatbelt backing sit behind the weave, so the strap looks the part but holds up to a modern gig schedule — the vintage look without the vintage strap’s problems.
Warm wood, warm strap
The rust and gold tones sit especially well against mahogany, sunburst and natural finishes — the kind of pairing that made this style of strap a fixture on stage fifty years ago and still works today.
Sits right, stays put
Comfortable on the shoulder over a long set, with enough grip from the seatbelt backing that it won’t slide around while you play.
Test Run
An experimental small batch. Once it’s gone, this exact strap is gone.
Rivets, Not 3
A construction detail unique to this run, matching the original era.

The Turquoise Desert Hippie Weave Guitar Strap is our tribute to the original late-’60s and early-’70s woven guitar straps that defined an era—especially those iconic designs by Ace. For this limited experimental run, we leaned into that history with a two-rivet front tab construction, capturing the look and feel of those early straps while refining everything else.
The weave itself is something special. We call it Turquoise Desert because it carries the full spectrum of a high desert landscape—rust, clay, turquoise, sun-faded golds, dusky blues, and deep midnight tones—like a psychedelic drive through Joshua Tree at golden hour that somehow stretches into night.
While the inspiration is vintage, the build is anything but. This strap is designed for modern players who want reliability without sacrificing style:

A strap that looks like it came from 1969, but works like it was built for today.
