Hello and welcome to Sizzlestrapz and thank you for stopping by .

I have been chosen for the latest commercial for Victorinoxswissarmy " Inspired By Authenticity"

I designed my first camera bag to solve a problem, without a thought that I might actually end up in the photo bag business. As a fashion conscious male, I needed a bag that not only looked smart and stylish but also something I could work out of fast. What started out as a kitchen table experiment has now become a brand that is made in USA – which translates into high quality, trendy camera bags and accessories.

I've traveled near and far to collect inspiration and ingredients for my delicious creations. I am inspired by people, our community, colors and textures. And customizing every opportunity I get keeps my creative juices flowing and my mind and hands racing to create, create, create!

It is possible that you may have seen my work carried by many photographers, both young and experienced.

Keeping in touch with my customers and many returning customers has been a very humbling experience. Because I love versatility, my doctor’s bag, camera straps and other leather gear has reached many parts of the globe and has been featured in many news articles and blogs.

I love what I do and I think it shows in my work. If you have any questions at all please feel free to contact me. I hope you love my creations as much as I do. Your support is greatly appreciated.

    He even finished the bag early. He took my sketches and turned them into a great bag and backpacker set. I will work with Rich again in the near future.

    For Leather Laptop Bag
    5.0

    Sizzlestrapz is an excellent choice for custom crafted leather goods. I had a laptop bag made with a custom decoration on the flap and it turned out great. I am recommending them to all my friends.

    For Leather camera bag
    3.0

    I thought the bag would be more sturdy and that is why I went to leather. However, the bag is very limber and the sides come up over the flap so when you cary over your shoulder you see the black linning. Really not sure if I can use the bag as I do not thinkit will protect my camera or lenses.

    For leather briefcase/laptop & book tote
    5.0

    If I could make the pictures in my head come to reality, this bag is exactly what I would have made. Not only is it great looking, but it is extremely sturdy - especially the closure hardware/straps/handles. I am a grad student in history and wanted a bag like this to carry around my laptop and massive amounts of required reading. This bag will make it through grad school just fine, probably in better shape than I will. I guess it'll take at least another 4-6 masters programs, and maybe a PhD or two before it starts to look worn. The leather is thick but not unyielding, and the stitching and lining appear impeccable. I've only been carrying it around for a day, and I've gotten a lot of compliments. And, even with all my books in it, it is very easy to carry because it is well made. Absolutely fabulous.
