Handcrafted Excellence: Leica Camera Straps for Every Photographer
The Leica Q cameras aren't just cameras—they're objects of precision, craftsmanship, and intentional design. Built for discerning creatives and photographers who value both form and function, these full-frame compacts combine Leica’s heritage with cutting-edge design and intuitive performance. At Bowman Leather, we believe the Leica camera strap you choose should reflect that same philosophy—handcrafted with the same attention to detail and quality that defines Leica's legacy.
A Strap That Complements, Not Compromises
At Bowman Leather, we hand-craft leather straps that match the spirit of the Q series: minimal, high quality, and crafted for the way you shoot.
Our straps are crafted from UK-sourced vegetable tanned leather, known for its strength, rich texture, and the way it softens and ages beautifully over time. Every piece is made to order, in our small workshop here in the UK—no mass production, no shortcuts. Just simple, honest materials and timeless design.
Don’t take our word for it
Our 5 star reviews from Leica owners say it all:
“Bowman are a fantastic, trusted seller of high quality, handmade camera straps…excellent quality workmanship at a reasonable price.”
“Perfect fit for the Leica Q2, high quality”
“Delightful experience and superb neck strap. I particularly love the simplicity — and the overall quality. I’m using this on a Leica Q monochrom. And it’s perfect.”
Neck Strap for Leica Q2/Q3
A refined leather neck strap that’s equally at home worn across the neck, shoulder, or crossbody. The Ridge is our wider strap at 19mm—still minimal and sleek, but with that extra bit of surface area for added comfort, especially when paired with the solid weight of a Leica Q2 or Q3.
What truly sets the Ridge apart is its made-to-order length. Whether you prefer your camera high and close for fast street work or lower and looser for relaxed shooting, we’ll craft the strap to your exact preference.
· Clean, understated design
· Wider 19mm profile for better weight distribution
· Customisable length
· Available with split rings or Peak Design anchors
· Available with soft, rounded edges for added comfort
Wrist Straps for Leica
For photographers who like to keep things light and close to hand, a wrist strap is a natural fit — especially with compact, high-performance cameras like the Leica Q2 and Q3. At Bowman Leather, we offer two leather wrist straps, each designed for a slightly different feel in use.
Flint is our best-selling wrist strap. Slim, minimal, and beautifully balanced, it's ideal for those who like a lightweight setup that doesn’t get in the way. Available with either split rings or Peak Design quick-release anchors, it's a versatile companion whether you're shooting digital or film.
Slate is the slightly wider option at 19mm, offering more support for heavier cameras or longer sessions. It’s still clean and modern, just with a bit more presence and stability in the hand.
Both are handmade in the UK using vegetable-tanned leather, and can be customised with polished and rounded edges for added comfort .
One Strap, Two Ways to Carry
For Leica photographers who like to keep things simple but versatile, the Vantage Duo offers something rare — a single strap that works as both a neck strap and a wrist strap. No adjustments, no switching gear — just one well-designed solution that adapts to how you shoot.
Made from UK-sourced vegetable-tanned leather and shaped with soft, rounded edges, it’s comfortable enough for long days with a Q2, Q3, or M-series, while staying true to Leica’s clean, understated aesthetic.
It’s also been getting noticed:
“Really useful dual-mode design” — Amateur Photographer
“Wrist and neck convenience in one smart solution.” — Macfilos
For photographers who shoot with intention, the Duo is a strap that works as hard as your Leica does.
A Little Extra Comfort, When You Need It
If you love the low-profile feel of our 12mm Stride strap, but you’re carrying a heavier camera like the Leica Q2, Q3, or M, the Removable Shoulder Pad is a subtle but smart addition.
Made from the same premium UK-sourced leather, it simply slides onto your strap for added comfort across the shoulder — without interrupting the clean design. It adds grip, softens pressure points, and keeps your setup comfortable over longer sessions.
It’s a natural pairing with the Stride, but here’s the best part: This shoulder pad will fit any 12mm leather strap, so if you already have a favourite, this makes the perfect upgrade when you're working with heavier gear.
Premium Quality, Without the Premium Price
We believe in making beautiful, well-crafted gear that doesn’t cost the earth. Our straps are priced accessibly, while still delivering the quality Leica shooters expect.
And because everything is made to order, you're not just buying a strap—you’re getting something made just for you and your camera.
