The History of the Leather Sunglass Strap

In the summer of 2009 on a trip to Nantucket for the Figawi sailing race our founder Chris found himself looking for a higher quality, more durable sunglass strap. Unable to find a suitable alternative to the neoprene "Croakies" varieties he set out to create his own. The concept seemed simple, why not a leather sunglass strap?

Once back on the mainland Chris began learning the leather craft. Fortunate to gain the mentorship of Frank Clegg, countless nights and weekends were spent in Frank's shop working on what would become the first leather sunglass strap.

Now over 10 years, many product iterations, and hundreds of 5-star reviews later we are proud to offer the finest sunglass straps in the world, made right here in Massachusetts. We hope Sounders Original Leather Sunglass Straps serve you well in your pursuits of sport & leisure.
