Why Your Strap Matters More Than You Think

If you’re serious about your instrument, you already know this truth: your gear is only as good as the experience of playing it. You obsess over pickups, tuners, strings. You dial in tone and comfort. But too often, one of the most important parts of your connection to the instrument gets ignored — the strap. Bass Musician Magazine, The Face of Bass

At LK Straps, we refuse to let that slip by.

The Story Behind LK Straps

LK Straps was born from the simple realization that most straps suck. They dig into your shoulder. They make heavy instruments feel heavier. They’re generic, mass-produced, and often feel like an afterthought compared to the rest of your rig. LK STRAPS

Founder Lior Koren started making straps back in 2001 from repurposed leather because he needed a solution he couldn’t find anywhere. A strap that felt broken in from day one. A strap that balanced weight instead of creating tension. A strap that became an extension of your instrument — not just something that held it up. Bass Musician Magazine, The Face of Bass

That first handmade strap wasn’t just comfortable — it changed how Lior played and how he thought about gear. Musicians around him started asking where it came from. Soon enough, LK Straps was a thing. And today, it’s trusted by top artists around the world.

What Makes LK Straps Different

This isn’t just marketing talk.

100% Handmade from Repurposed LeatherEach strap starts with real leather — often reclaimed from vintage sources — so every piece has character and soul. It already feels worn in the moment you put it on. LK STRAPS

Designed for Comfort and BalanceA strap should remove weight, not add it. A properly balanced instrument feels like an extension of your body. LK Straps delivers on that promise.

Unique and CustomizableWhether you want a classic distressed look, bold spray-painted design, or your own custom colors and stitching, every strap is a chance to express yourself.

Built for Lifetimes, Not SeasonsThese are not disposable straps. They’re meant to travel with you — from practice room to stage to tour. The quality shows from the moment you pick one up.

More Than a Strap — A Statement

Your instrument says something about who you are. Your strap should too.

A strap should:

• Make a heavy instrument feel light

• Support your posture and prevent fatigue

• Reflect your style — whether understated or statement-making

That’s the core of LK Straps. Not just utility — identity.
