Northfield Convertible Mandolin Strap

Northfield Convertible Mandolin Strap

from $10.00

Here’s a little something that very few know about the origins of Northfield…
Way back when we were deciding to make our own mandolins we were hustling as team to put food and wood on the table. Co-founder “Dino” Xhang was coming from a manufacturing background with a variety of industry experience that made it possible to take on a few different projects .. a good way to spread out the risk a bit and actively create some revenue while we hammered out the plan for mandolins. Dino’s past experience with leather tanning and Italian shoe-making design came in very helpful when it came time to look at making cases and gigbags and other gear. In fact, his experience was so vast that we took on a project making travel gear for a company based in San Diego and created a line of thin wallets, card cases, passport cases as well as some other items.  That was 20 years ago and it made what eventually became Northfield possible. We met all sorts of artisan shops along the way including the one we partnered up with on this latest project of making our own convertible mandolin straps. Just like a great tune, it all comes back around. We hope you’ll try one out.

Bringing together quality, versatility, and comfort, this Northfield leather strap is designed to elevate your playing experience. Built to accommodate both F & A Style mandolins, it’s made for the demands of musicians who expect excellence. Hand cut, tooled, and dyed.

Crafted from Italian rawhide, this strap is soft yet durable, promising the perfect blend of style and function. With its thoughtfully designed loop attachment, you can secure it around the mandolin’s scroll, up by the nut, or on a strap button—whichever feels most natural to you.

We’ve been listening to the community’s need for a reliable leather strap that’s adaptable to different mandolin styles. Whether you’re looking for something that complements your F-style or need the security around the nut of your A-style, this strap is designed to stay secure and keep you comfortable.

Add this handcrafted strap to your setup—your mandolin deserves it.

Each strap comes with an attachment loop. Additional loops are available for replacement needs or in case you find this tool to be extra handy for other straps and more!
