Artisan & Artist Flynn Camera Strap

Flynn camera strap, developed by Artisan&Artist, is inspired by the paracord strap used on American photojournalist Sean Flynn’s Leica M2 camera. The strap combines leather and paracord material with great functionality. The length on both the left and right sides can be easily adjusted. The tip of the paracord never comes loose naturally, as each cord is woven carefully with Celtic button knots by artisans, enabling the user to easily hold the knot when adjusting the strap. This model, designed for use with compact cameras, features a newly developed loop-strap attachment.

In November 2018, a Leica M2 from 1965 with a Summilux-M 1.4/35mm was sold at a high price. This camera went through many battlefields with photojournalist Sean Flynn, son of Hollywood actor Errol Flynn, who played an active role mainly during the Vietnam War while also being an actor himself. He participated in many parachuting missions with the US military and took many shocking photos, delivering facts about the battlefield to the world. The camera he left behind after going missing in 1970, when he was attacked by Vietnamese communist guerrillas in Cambodia, is highly praised by collectors. A paracord, a strong rope used for parachutes, that he likely procured from the battlefield was used as a strap on his favorite camera, which became a powerful element of this valuable piece.
