You will be absolutely mesmerized with the beauty and elegance of this bold and provocative India style floral handmade guitar strap. Imported from India, the heavy cotton fabric is comprised of a rich, delicate pattern of large ornately stylized lotus blossoms, tiny buds, and a tumult of curling, sweeping leaves. The colors used in the fabric of the guitar strap are exquisitely blended and variegated shades of blue, teal, light and dark green, lavender and purple, brown, and gold. The cream background sharpens and brightens the colors to create a striking contrast full of rich subtlety. The back lining of the guitar strap is matching teal blue Dupioni silk and the leather tabs are top quality black premium suede leather.

The lotus is depicted with special beauty on this guitar strap. One of the most sacred icons in Buddhism, the lotus represents the purity of mind and body, rising and floating detached from the muddy, murky water that surrounds it, just as the Buddha rises and floats detached from temporal attachments and desires. It is the symbol of transcendence, purity, and grace. This is a truly dazzling guitar strap rich not only in color but in meaning.

My guitar straps are amazingly comfortable. The 3 inch width allows for weight distribution over 50% more area than conventional guitar straps and even solid body bass players have commented on how comfortable my guitar straps are. Further, because there are 3 bottom layers of fabric between your shoulder and the polypropylene foundation, there is a soft cushion to help further distribute the weight of your guitar without holding the body heat that standard lamb's wool shoulder pads retain, so your strap is soft, cool, and comfortable. No more aching neck or shoulder and no more pressure points.

I am always looking for fabrics and patterns that you just do not see on guitar straps and this luscious and meaningful fabric is just what I look for. I was so pleased to find it and am proud to offer it to you.
