Product Features in Detail

CURA CME-100 SHIMEKIRI Silk Rope Strap (105cm)
It is unparalleled in all kinds of strings in the world. Supreme camera strap using double-structured inversion method
The silk rope strap "SHIMEKIRI" is made using a rope that makes full use of the inversion method of the Kyoto kimono braid called "deadline" that replaces the outer weave and the inner weave (core) in the middle.
Kumihimo is a traditional technology that has continued since the Nara period as a kimono product, and among them, the "deadline" is made using a very special method that repeats the trouble of recombining all the threads set during production twice.
This made the part of the neck dark and the colourful design around the camera.

Unique shapes that change depending on how you use them
In addition, the biggest feature of the "deadline" is its unique shape.
This rope has an oval cross-section and has the characteristics of both a round string and a flat string.
You can change the shape like a round string when wrapped around the wrist, and like a flat string when hanging around the neck.

3 colour variations
We have prepared three colour variations: matcha, shiba, and indigo.
"Matcha" colour combinations are Rokocha and Rikyucha.
"Shiba" colour combinations are Kyomurasaki and Nadeshikoiro
"Indigo" colour combinations are Kachiiro and Ginnezu.

Beauty and functionality due to obi-jime braids derived from Japanese decoration
While the existing Sanada string strap of Kura CURA was derived from armor, the silk rope strap "SHIMEKIRI" uses an obi-jime string derived from Japanese decoration. It can be said that it is a new supreme gem of Kura CURA, which has found a brand new function as a camera strap in the traditional Japanese method.
The leather at the tip is reinforced with two rows of hand sewing, so it realizes the beauty of traditional braids and functionality that can carry an important camera with peace of mind.

The tip with bare stamping and silver foil stamping
The root leather is not too conspicuous with the Kura CURA logo, and the base of the braid is decorated with silver foil-stamped leather parts of "Kyoto" and "Kyoto silk rope".
