Most photographers carry their camera around in all sorts of bags that can accommodate a wide range of lenses and accessories that might be of good use in some situations.

What if you need to keep your camera close and ready to shoot in an instant? Usually every digital camera comes with a neck strap that helps you keep the camera safely around your neck. These straps are not always the most comfortable way to carry your camera around, and they sometimes become more of a burden.

Low-quality materials as well as poor build design can provoke neck and shoulder pain after some time if you tend to wander around the city for an extended period of time.

To solve this issue and provide a classy alternative to usual neck straps, Florence-based design company Angelo Pelle has recently announced the availability of a new line of handmade leather neck straps especially designed to provide higher comfort as well as giving a stylish look to your camera.

All straps are entirely handmade by skilled Italian artisans with years of experience in the field. Each neck strap takes more than three hours to produce and is made from top-quality Tuscan leather. The part that touches your neck comes with a layer of waxed cotton for a stylish inner finishing and more comfort.

In addition to that, special care is given to the quality of braids, which are coated with 2 layers of dye after the edges are burned with a hot iron. The new Angelo Pelle neck straps come with two lengths 105 cm / 41 inches and 123 cm / 48 inches, each being 2.5 cm / 1 inch wide.

The straps are available in three colors: extra aged Light Brown, extra aged Dark Brown and Black. You can now order the “best braided strap in the world,” as the company claims, from the official Angelo Pelle online store at a price of €79.90 / $109 for the 105 cm straps and €84.90 / $116 for the 123 cm ones.
