In 2019, we launched the world's first Eco-friendly STRAP called ECOSTRAP®, 100% made from a non-animal laminated synthetic material, Vegan Premium, 100% Phthalate Free, 100% Hydrolysis Free and 100% Recyclable.
The UKULELE VEGAN STRAPS are 4.0 cm wide and varying in length from 90 cm to 140 cm, with buffalo print. Not foam padded.
This unique new patented material is so close to the look of leather that it is hard to tell the difference, and much more economical and environmentally friendly.
In addition, the material is also 100% recyclable, meaning that after the end of the product life cycle which averages about 15 years, the material can be re-ground and recycled into a new material. This technology was developed based on the latest generation of phthalate-free PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride).

WHY should I wear a strap on my UKULELE?
At first we were a little reluctant to develop a ukulele strap understanding (or unknowingly) that the instrument would not need a strap because of its size.
After many requests from customers we started to develop the strap and found that not only is an accessory aesthetically very suitable for this instrument but also greatly assists playability, especially in standing position.
After testing several prototypes we found that the best result was achieved by placing a strap button on the body of the ukulele and attaching the other end of the strap to the headstock of the instrument.
To give you the best possible result, we developed an accessory (Mod. UK QRV-01) that "ties" a strap to the headstock with a button.
