As a special edition in the online store

The silk rope as a standard color is made of two colors so that you can enjoy the color difference, but this black ink -Monochrome- is finished with silk threads with a slight color difference of "jet black" and "ink".
By changing everything from the hand-stitching of the leather parts to the logo to black, it looks all black, and by suppressing flashy expressions, it enhances the subject who is the protagonist while refraining the presence of the photographer. However, it is a quaint camera strap that is suitable for talking about the sophisticated aesthetic eye of the camera and its owner.
The tip with bare pressing
The Kura CURA logo is not too noticeable for the root leather, and at the base of the braid, the "Kyoto" and "Kyoto silk rope" parts that were usually pressed with silver foil are also decorated with pressed leather parts that do not interfere with the black of the braid.
It is unparalleled in all kinds of strings around the world. Supreme camera strap using a double-layer inversion method
The silk rope strap "SHIMEKIRI" is made using a rope that makes full use of the reversal method of Kyoto kimono braids called "deadline", which replaces the outer weaving and inner weaving (core) in the middle.
braiding is a traditional technique that has been passed down since the Nara period as a Japanese clothing, and among them, the "deadline" is made using a very special method that repeats the trouble of reassembling all the threads set during production twice.
Unique shapes that change depending on how you use them
In addition, the biggest feature of the "deadline" is its unique shape.
This rope has an oval cross-section and has the characteristics of both a round string and a flat string.
You can change the shape like a round string when wrapped around the wrist, and like a flat string when hanging around the neck.
Beauty and functionality due to obi-jime braids derived from Japanese decoration
While Kura CURA's existing Sanada string strap was derived from armor, the silk rope strap "SHIMEKIRI" uses a obi-tightening braid derived from Japanese decoration. It can be said that Kura CURA's new supreme gem, which has found a brand-new function as a camera strap in traditional Japanese methods.
The leather at the tip is strongly reinforced by two rows of hand sewing, realizing the beauty of traditional braids and the functionality of carrying your precious camera with confidence.
