Moody Leather - Guitar Straps - Bass Guitar Strap - Custom Made
Description
We couldn't say it better ourselves, editor in chief of Guitar Player magazine gives everyone the "Industry Insider" and has written a bio on Moody and Allison...take a look.
One look at the company’s marketing materials tells you that Moody Leather is no ordinary strap company. I don’t want to spoil the surprise (or the outrage), so let’s just say that the images are very provocative. Oh, hell—I’ll just let Moody Leather founder/designer Allison Suter give you the scoop: “The feel of our leather straps is yummy and sensual, so the hint of erotica is enticing and appropriate. And while our ads are edgy, sex and rock and roll have always gone well together.”
Suter first taught herself to work with leather by making a deerskin jacket for her father—who was an F-15 fighter pilot and designer of the Air Force’s Red Flag Air Warfare Center, and is the namesake of Moody Leather (the company logo is his actual signature). From there, Suter started making handbags, but as she was a ballet dancer, it wasn’t long before music intersected with her business strategy.
“It seemed to me that straps were an afterthought for many musicians,” she explains. “And if you wanted a premium strap, it was usually a gaudy design that didn’t incorporate really good-quality leather. I started talking to players to see what they wanted, and that led to a lot of research.”
