Welcome! Thank you for taking a moment to visit Lakota Leathers, makers of the finest musical instrument straps available anywhere.
Each Lakota Leathers strap is assembled on the Pine Ridge Lakota Sioux Indian reservation in South Dakota, USA. Pine Ridge has the undesirable distinction of being the poorest county in the entire United States. The purchase of any Lakota Leathers strap not only gives you the ultimate quality, but helps provide income for people on the reservation. Truly a 'cottage' industry, Lakota Leathers straps are assembled in living rooms and on kitchen tables of the people who make these wonderful straps.
DON'T be fooled by look alikes, knock offs, or 'buffalo' leather straps. Most of these use cheap imported water buffalo. Some even claim to be "American Buffalo".. the truth is these are water buffalo imported and dye cut in the US so they can claim "American" and also "Buffalo". American Bison are technically not buffalo, but are sometimes referred to as 'American buffalo" So don't be fooled by these fake straps, slick marketing techniques, or cheap prices. Remember, you get what you pay for!
