Authentic silk camera straps from Japanese cords, crafted in Warsaw.

Silk camera straps by meticulously weaving together the finest materials. Obijimmy, handmade in Warsaw from genuine Japanese silk cords, carry a quiet story of travel, tradition, and mindful craftsmanship, reflecting the art of braid.Each strap is created for photographers who value heritage as much as function—objects that feel meaningful, intentional, and built to accompany creative journeys for years, often featuring a hand strap for added comfort. These straps are not just accessories but companions, shaped by touch, light, and the memories of every place they go, often worn around the neck.

A fusion of traditional craft and artisan Japanese weaving. Unique braided silk cords — non-repetitive and one of a kind.

Our exclusive straps made from hand-braided vintage silk cords are sourced from flea markets, tea ceremony ateliers and small artisan workshops across Japan. Every cord comes with its own character: colors shaped by time, patterns influenced by fading traditions, and textures that reflect decades of careful storage and ceremony. These straps are entirely non-repetitive, meaning no two pieces will ever look the same (Mottainai series). Each one becomes a small cultural artifact renewed for life in photography, turning every camera into a storyteller’s tool with its own distinct personality.

Newly woven silk cords — repetitive, boutique, and handcrafted

Alongside the vintage line, we craft straps from newly woven silk cords produced by boutique Japanese manufacturers who continue the centuries-old practice of weaving on handcrafted wooden looms, ensuring each piece is a limited edition. These cords offer consistent patterns, long-term durability and a refined, modern aesthetic while still embracing the warmth of hand-made construction. The result is a meticulously designed, reliable setup perfect for photographers wanting both elegance and balance in their everyday shooting setup.

Finished with premium Italian leather.

Each strap is strengthened with genuine Italian leather chosen for durability, smooth aging, and the natural patina it develops over time, enhancing its elasticity. This finishing touch ensures the strap remains comfortable, secure, and increasingly beautiful the longer it is carried, thanks to its high-quality silk strap design.

Compatible with all cameras with steel lug attachment. A universal fit for modern and vintage bodies.

All obijimmy straps—both vintage and newly woven—work seamlessly with any camera equipped with steel lugs, ensuring a secure attachment. This includes Leica M, Fujifilm, Canon, Nikon, Sony, Contax, and more, making every strap versatile and ready for any creative system.

Embracing the spirit of mottainai.

At the heart of each vintage camera strap lies the traditional Japanese concept of upcycling. Mottainai, the idea that materials and craftsmanship deserve respect, care and renewal. Whether repurposing vintage silk or supporting artisans who continue traditional loom weaving, every obijimmy strap honors memory, skill and the belief that meaningful objects deserve to be rediscovered, reimagined and carried into the future.
