What we're about.
My passion for all things guitar began when I was a teenager and led to a hobby making bespoke, high quality guitar accessories later in life.
I initially started making acoustic guitar stands, something I still do today. I produced my first guitar strap for one of my granddaughters when she began guitar lessons a few years ago. And so Southside Harbour Guitar Straps was born, allowing me to turn my passion and hobby into a small business!
At Southside Harbour Guitar Straps, we pride ourselves in quality, style and comfort at affordable prices. All of our guitar straps are handmade using top quality components at our home workshop situated in Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire. Our backing, for example, uses recycled car seat belts which we salvage before they hit the landfill sites.
Our vegan straps are also based on our seatbelt backing, we use natural cork inners and a hand stitched vinyl outer. Our polyester backing comes in two colours alongside our cotton/hemp webbing.
Unique, eye-catching and long lasting, Southside Harbour Guitar Straps are already the strap of choice for many high profile musicians. We are also able to accommodate bespoke commissions upon request!

The Sick Children's Trust
The Sick Children's Trust is something my family hold close to our hearts. After my daughter and son-in-law were lucky enough to get a room in Eckersley House back in 2012 when our grandson Harry was admitted to Leeds General Infirmary. Following this I did a charity trek to Everest Base Camp in 2013 and donated the proceeds to Eckersley House. We really do understand the importance of the service they offer to families facing such difficult times.
As such, £1.50 from each strap sold will be donated directly to the trust. If you'd like to find out more about the trust and their mission you can find their website by clicking the link here.
