Welcome! Thank you for taking a moment to visit Lakota Leathers, makers of the finest musical instrument straps available anywhere.
Each Lakota Leathers strap is assembled on the Pine Ridge Lakota Sioux Indian reservation in South Dakota, USA.  Pine Ridge has the undesirable distinction of being the poorest county in the entire United States. The purchase of any Lakota Leathers strap not only gives you the ultimate quality, but helps provide income for  people on the reservation.  Truly a 'cottage' industry, Lakota Leathers straps are assembled in  living rooms and on kitchen tables of the people who make these wonderful straps.
We use only native leathers which have been used by the Lakota people for milenia. Bison (American buffalo) and Elk are our leathers of choice. These leathers are extremely supple and provide for unsurpassed comfort no matter what instrument you play. Our bison hide straps are available in four colors (chocolate, black, spruce, and tobacco) and are available for guitar, banjo, resonator guitar, and mandolin. Hand braided Elk hide straps are available for mandolin and available in a multitude of color choices.
All Lakota Leathers straps are 100% guaranteed to be the softest, strongest, and most comfortable strap you will ever use. Thank you for taking time to visit Lakota Leathers!  Guitar Straps
