Where Style Meets Sustainability
As music lovers and guitar enthusiasts, we understand that the tools we use to create our art should be as considerate to the world around us as the notes we play. The Eco Vegan strap is a pioneering accessory that combines style, comfort, and eco-consciousness in one sleek package. The flagship of EcoStraps range, the Eco Vegan strap has remained a staple and best seller since the brands very beginning. Given its importance in the guitar accessory space, we’re excited to spotlight the Eco Vegan Guitar Strap by EcoStrap and take a close look at what makes it so special.
A Legacy of Innovation
The EcoStrap has been at the forefront of sustainable music gear since 2019 when it was launched by Brazilian strap maker Basso as the world’s first eco-friendly guitar strap. This revolutionary product was (and still is) crafted from a 100% non-animal laminated synthetic material, is vegan premium, 100% phthalate-free, hydrolysis-free, and fully recyclable, setting a new standard in the industry.
Fast forward to today and the EcoStrap has grown into its own brand, and is the sustainable business division of Basso. All products launched on the market through this brand aim to achieve the maximum degree of sustainability available in terms of technology, in a continuous search for new materials. The EcoStrap brand now encompasses more than 45 models available in a variety of designs, spanning Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele and Banjo, with each committed to both high performance and environmental stewardship.
It should be mentioned that the Basso brand itself has undergone it’s own sustainable transition. The two orange “S’s” in the brand logo represent the pillars of Sustainability: S (Social / Economic) and S (Sustainable – environmental protection). From the humble beginnings of the EcoStrap, it’s encouraging to see the effect it has had on an entire organisation, and really highlights the importance of these issues to the Company.
Economic and Social Development
Composed entirely of small certified companies and local labor, the entire production chain of EcoStrap promotes economic and social development in the community. All raw materials follow internationally recognised environmental protection and sustainable development measures. State of the art processes are employed to achieve optimal use of natural resources such as water and energy, while increasing the incorporation of renewable and recyclable raw materials.
Practical Design and Comfort
Designed with practicality in mind, the Eco Vegan Guitar Strap features a width of 6cm, ensuring even weight distribution across your shoulder. While it’s not foam padded (see EcoSoft models for this), the strap’s construction and materials provide reliable comfort for extended playing sessions. It adjusts from 100 cm to 145 cm in length, accommodating players of various sizes and preferences. A stylish buffalo print adds a unique texture and visual appeal to the strap, making it as distinctive as it is functional. This unique new patented material is so close to the look of leather that it is hard to tell the difference, and much more economical and environmentally friendly.
Colour Options
The Eco Vegan Guitar Strap is available in four key colours that cater to a wide range of personal styles:
- Black: Sleek and timeless, pairing effortlessly with any guitar and outfit.
- Brown: Adds a touch of rustic charm and vintage appeal to your gear.
- Whiskey: Provides a warm, rich hue that adds a distinct personality to your set up.
- Crimson: For those who want to make a bold statement with a splash of colour.
