You can see examples and find more detail on these three fonts here.
FOIL FINISH OPTIONS - BLIND or COLOUR
BLIND
Blind embossing high-quality leather looks fantastic as the edges of the embossed text patina over time to softly blend with the leather grain. Blind embossing also delivers a nice looking contrast between the leather surface and the recessed text.
• BLIND (no colour, just pressed into leather)
FOIL COLOUR
Lucky Straps offers a variety of foil colours to fill the embossed text. Foil colours make the embossed text pop and stand out - it's available for both text and custom logo embossing. With the range of leather colours and foils colours, you can create a truly unique neck strap or wrist to match your style, taste and profession.

Deep Brown Leather
Deep Brown Leather is one of the darkest tans in our range, with the second being Cognac Leather. If you are looking for a stealthy look, choosing blind embossing or a dark foil in combination with a font format will give you the best result. Alternatively, if you want the embossing of a name or logo to stand out, we highly recommend you go with a lighter foil such as silver or rose gold.
Desert Tan Leather
Desert Tan Leather is a popular choice amongst photographers and videographers that want a light-looking leather, adjustable length camera strap. It's our lightest leather finish in the range. The nubuck leather properties of the Dessert Tan Leather provides a soft and smooth surface. As a result, embossing achieves a subtle finish when opting for the blind or non-filled press. We love the look of either the blind embossing or silver foil. Opt for one of the foil fills if you want to add a little punch to your leather neck strap.
Chestnut Brown Leather
Chestnut Brown Leather is a classic leather finish with a nostalgic and classy look. Like Desert Tan, Chestnut Brown Leather is typically smooth and soft yet ages gracefully and takes on its own character. Blind embossing with Chestnut Brown Leather results in stronger contrast between the leather surface and embossed elements. It's both subtle and stylish. However, if you want to add a little colour to your strap, any of the foils look great, but Gold and Rose Gold stand out. If you're shooting weddings or corporate events, we recommend the Chestnut Brown Leather.
Antique Brown Leather
Chestnut and Antique are almost identical in colour, the difference is the Antique is a pre-softened piece of leather. Much like a pair of leather boots, Antique Brown Leather camera straps look amazing. They are especially great when paired with a retro film camera to maintain that classic aesthetic. Given that it is a heavier colour, it also looks great on broader straps carrying a larger DSLR camera. The Times or Cursive fonts are the most popular and look great blind or with a lighter fill colour when it comes to embossing. For the best camera straps look we encourage Rose Gold, Pink and Copper Foil to achieve a subtle outcome as they are the closest to the colour of the leather. For a higher degree of contrast and impact, we love the look of Lilac or Silver Foil.
Olive Green Leather
The grainy texture of our Olive Green Leather is a standout favourite amongst creatives. Similar to the Deep Brown, choosing a lighter foil will give you stand out results. However, for photographers wanting a subtle look, we recommend a Blind emboss.
Black Leather - Simple Range
The first in our lineup of Simple Range leather camera straps are our Black Leather. Featuring a smooth matte finish, the Black leather is a bespoke look. Customise the visual appeal with any of the colour foil fills or opt for blind emboss for something more subtle.
Tan Leather - Simple Range
A close comparison of Desert Tan Leather, Tan Leather offers less of a grain and a smoother finish. You'll find this strap is one of our most popular due to the lighter tones provided in comparison to Black Leather and Cognac Leather. Having a lighter strap colour offers the opportunity to utilize any of the foil types without compromising the logo or text from being lost. Each design will stand out with this choice.
Cognac Leather - Simple Range
Like the drink, Cognac is smooth with a glossy overtone. The matte finish makes this a beautiful base for your text or logo. In our opinion, black on black is an excellent option if you want a subtle look. Otherwise, opt for a foil fill to stand out from the crowd. If you wish for a distinguished look, then try envisioning a Gold Foil, Silver Foil or Copper Foil in conjunction with Cognac Leather. Either option will trump generic camera strap manufacturers like Peak Design or BlackRapid.
