Kristi and Steve Norris are a wildly varied, music loving husband and wife team that create unique, beautifully detailed, heirloom quality leather guitar straps.
From their private studio near Louisville, Ky, they offer custom design and commission work, as well as an ever growing portfolio of original art and design options to choose from when you’re ready to order your own leather guitar strap.
This up and coming small business takes tremendous pride in honoring musicians and their art with every single leather guitar strap they make. When you are ready to honor your favorite axe, start with a Flutterswine custom guitar strap. We invite you to see and feel the magic for yourself!
Deliberately crafted with a focus on comfort, durability, and ease of adjustment, we spend a great deal of time with each and every strap we create here in our Kentucky studio. The way we see it, straps should be like the musicians that use them -unique. From the specific instrument you want to strap up, to your personal playing style, we will work with you one-on-one to create the strap of your dreams.
Each Flutterswine strap we bring to life is an original work of art that is designed and hand crafted to be comfortable and fully functional. Then we make them look crazy cool with burned in graphics and hand dyed / painted colors. If you see a design you love, but you want colors that match your guitar, we can do that. The design possibilities are endless....
While we don't share all the deets, our leather straps look like nothing else you have ever seen in a leather strap. Vibrant colors, amazing graphics, bold impact and built to last long enough for the grand kids to fight over it when you're gone.
Some people, upon seeing their finished straps, have described them as magical. We'll take that.
With endless designs waiting to escape from our creative brains, our one of a kind and limited edition designed guitar straps will be ever evolving . Once we have sold the limited editions, these designs will be retired and new introductions will be made as we grow. Because each of our custom guitar straps is handmade, and painted entirely by hand, no two will ever be the same. If you want something that no one else has -start here.
While we enjoy expressing our creativity in our original designs, we have over thirty years of professional graphic design experience under our belt, and truly excel at custom design. We ENCOURAGE custom design requests.
Have a logo that you want on a strap? A weird idea of your own, but no artistic skills? Yep, we are happy to work our magic for you.
Our prices reflect the hours of work we put into each strap, generally 10-50 hours. Painting time is a huge variance in pricing. A basic strap will have a small area, usually on the front, with design and color. Top of the line, we can decorate a strap from tip to tip in color and design, and the price will reflect that. Basic straps start at about $250- $350 depending on the options you select.
We are currently running about 3-4 weeks on production. This can vary depending on our current orders. Please inquire for additional information on pricing and current lead times.
