New: the Century Straps by Rock n Roll


To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Leica I camera, Rock n Roll introduced the Century Red Dot Collection special edition handcrafted leather camera straps. Here are the details:

For 100 years, Leica has redefined photography, shaping the way we capture moments with precision and artistry. To celebrate this milestone, Rock n Roll Straps & Bags introduces the Century Red Dot Collection, a special edition series of handcrafted leather camera straps designed to honor Leica’s legacy with elegance and function.

Crafted from two layers of premium full-grain Italian leather, this strap features a sophisticated black pebbled exterior paired with a striking red underside—a signature nod to the legendary camera brand. The soft yet durable leather is designed to age beautifully over time, ensuring both comfort and longevity.

The Century Straps built for versatility and ease of use, come in two standard sizes 100cm and 125 cm but also adjustable with an adjustable length ranging from 107cm to 120cm, allowing photographers to wear it crossbody or over the shoulder for the perfect fit. Reinforced metal hardware, precise stittching, and the signature Red Dot accents at both ends complete this strap, making it the perfect blend of function and elegance.
