camera strap?
Bought a new camera and I’m looking for a camera strap. There are tons of options that are purely functional but I’d prefer something with a bit of design. Open to almost anything as long as it’s at least a little bit interesting.
Would also look at other neck or shoulder straps (like from a bag or whatever) that could be adapted for a camera.
Budget proportional to how good it is, but not really looking to spend more than $350ish at the absolute top end.
Any ideas fellas? Also feel free to remove if not fashion enough this feels kinda borderline

honestly id go on ebay and look for some vintage ones
pretty cheap and they look good usually
like i use a vintage canon strap on my (canon) DSLR and it usually gets a comment if people notice it and its just the one that came with my 35mm SLR
but you can also just go on Etsy and look for some, im sure som small operations make some cool ones
I’ll take any recommendations for Etsy shops for sure, dropshippers got me quaking in my boots
This actually got me thinking I could unironically try aliexpress too
This is the one I have if you want something quick and inexpensive--it has worked great for me--but I second the idea of looking for something vintage as well:

(Just realized you mentioned up to $350--this is definitely not in that tier lol)
All good anything goes around here. That one is honestly not that bad tbh
As a photographer myself... camera straps are close to pure function in my book. Advice would be for function not style.
/r/photography and its discord server get this question pretty much daily. Tons of answers there, search the archives, etc

Leather Camera Straps with Peak Design Anchor Links
Handmade Leather Camera Straps for Leica, Fujifilm, Mirrorless and Film Cameras - Peak Design anchors available.
They have Peak Design connectors which I already use on all my cameras. IMO the best quick release system
Otherwise just get the Peak one, it’s the best I’ve had
Agree with others, if you get something, make sure it uses the peak design system, and the best functional option is a peak design strap.
