Description
War Photographer’s improvised solution turned into a timeless design.
In our design research stage, a particular historical story has greatly intrigued us: the photojournalist Sean Flynn, carrying a Leica M2 camera, participated in numerous parachute missions with the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. The camera strap for his camera was improvised in the battlefield, crafted by hand using paracord and grenade pins. He used it to capture the harsh realities of the battlefield and convey them to the world. This camera has since become highly esteemed among collectors and has served as a source of inspiration for us.
