HAPTIC INDUSTRIES is proud to announce our newest product, completely handmade, limited edition HENRI SHOULDER STRAP, in two colors: Crema Brown and Phantom Black.
What’s the difference between the Henri Shoulder Strap and Neck Strap?

The Henri Neck Strap was initially designed to be worn around your neck, at chest level. We got a lot of great feedback on the Henri Neck Strap from users who wanted something longer– that could be worn on your shoulder, cross-body, or for taller photographers around their neck. Therefore after extensive user testing, and sourcing of new leather and materials, we made the HENRI SHOULDER STRAP.

The Henri Shoulder Strap is several inches longer than the Henri Neck Strap, and also comes in an exclusive and limited-edition “CREMA BROWN” color. It is quite possibly the most beautiful camera strap/leather product we have created, with an elegant burgundy-crimson stitching accent mark (not visible when you’re shooting, but you will admire the details when you’re sitting with your camera and strap):

Never miss the decisive moment.

The Henri Shoulder Strap is great if you have a slightly heavier camera (like a small DSLR, a Leica with a heavier lens/Summilux, a Fujifilm XT2 with a bigger lens, or any mirrorless camera which you prefer to wear around your shoulder).

Of course, the Henri Shoulder Strap can also be used on any Fujifilm X100-series camera, Sony A7-series, any mirrorless camera, Leica, etc. If you prefer a longer camera strap, the Henri Shoulder Strap will be perfect for you. If you prefer to use a camera at chest-level, we recommend the Henri Neck Strap (Classic).
PHANTOM BLACK

If you prefer the ‘black on black on black’, or the ‘all black everything’ aesthetic– we also created the new Henri Shoulder Strap in PHANTOM BLACK.

Everything on Henri Shoulder Strap PHANTOM BLACK is blacked out– with the exception of the adjustable loop cover (with the cross-hatched burgundy-crimson stitching). The detail is absolutely beautiful and breath-taking.

Henri Shoulder Strap in PHANTOM BLACK is probably the coolest-looking camera strap I have seen on a street photography camera, period.
Wooden Serpent Box

Fulfilling Cindy’s dream of starting a box company– every Henri Shoulder Strap comes with a limited-edition Wooden Serpent Box. Use the box for all your photography needs: organize your camera film, SD cards, photographs, or any other personal memorabilia of yours.

Why is it a ‘serpent box’? The box is made and  designed as a perfect snap fit (no screws, nails) and the back is flexible, just like the back of a serpent/snake.
