After 30 years of touring I got completely sick of the "Black" strap. I wanted something unique but with lots of quality, something that looked great and felt great at the same time. I looked everywhere, on the streets, and on the net and found nothing I was about to give up. Then I landed on your internet site.

You were a Hell of a lot of fun to work with on these straps, even when I changed my mind on a couple of things, it was never a problem for you, it was very a cool ride through the world of leather.

When you sent me the straps, they looked even better than the pictures you kept updating me with. These are very unique straps, and the quality is so good that I know that I'm going to fall apart way before the straps ever will.

Thanks Chantal, your a true artist

You did a wonderful job making it. It fits perfect on my Gibson Mandolin.I really like the way you made the raised designs for me to feel, especially since I'm leagally blind. I appreciate it so much.
Thank you very much

Hi Chantal
The goods arrived today safe and sound.
I have to say that the belt and pouches are everything I was looking for and more.You've done a superb job.
The leather is nicely aged and supple and everything fits perfectly.I love the way that you have moulded the harp pouches exactly to the shape of the harmonicas and, as you said, they are exactly the right way round to pull out and play. The slides fit very well.....not too tight not too loose. The catches also drop back into place nicely.
That's one piece of kit I can put on at the start of the gig and forget about, knowing I've got what I want to hand when I need it. When you've got guitar changes, different pedal settings, words, chords, how does this number end? etc to think about one less thing to organise makes life that bit easier and I can concentrate a bit more on the music and the entertainment.
Thanks for all you ideas, enthusiasm and skill .

As the delighted new owner of strap number 30, I have to thank you for making the whole process so easy. When I first contacted you I really had no idea what I wanted other than a striking strap with beautiful leatherwork. You talked me through the whole design process. I ended up with with exactly what I didn't know I wanted! It really is special. I know the price does not accord with the amount of work and expertise you put into your straps. Your straps are genuine collectors items. Good luck to you. You deserve every success.

It looks perfect on my HD28 Martin.
It is a pleasure to have a guitar strap made by you, the quality and pride that went it really shines through.
Thank you very much & keep up the great work.

I got the slip in the mail yesterday that it was at the post office. Picked it up today. I felt like a little kid on Christmas morning when I was opening the package. You really outdid yourself. I didn’t know whether to put it on one of my guitars…or on display under glass. The job you did with that padding was great. Even with my Les Pauls, the strap rides comfortably on my shoulder. And with the extra grip from the suede lining, I don’t have to worry about the headstock on my SG or bass taking a nose dive to the floor. I couldn’t be happier”. Thanks again for a quality product. I’m sure it will last a lifetime.

Strap arrived safely Friday and it looks great. It truly exceeds myexpectations .Number 21 (affectionately known as “The Python”) just fits the bill. I have walked around with it over my shoulder (my family think I’m an idiot) but have not introduced it to a guitar as yet. I can’t decide which one will get the privilege.

No one else makes straps like yours, or anywhere close to them.
Now days, when I look at ads for guitar straps, I always chuckle to myself and think "Mine is much better than those". Kinda like the guy that drives a Mercedes feels when he pulls up next to an old Ford station wagon."

I got your #03 guitar strap after looking for a well made one all over the net. All I have to say is all the other ones looked rather poorly made compared to any of the ones I found on Grouse guitar site. I’ve used it on my bass guitar for the last few months and it is looking better the more I use it and get lots of good comments. I also like the fact that there is a story behind the strap as well because whenever someone asks me about it I can tell them that the same hands that made it also made costumes in few well known movies. Thank you again and good luck with your new website.

"Just dropping a line to let you know that the Serial #1 strap my fiancée ordered for my birthday has arrived. The picture of the strap on your website was great (as are all your pictures). This strap is just as stunning in person. I haven't seen this kind of quality here in the States in almost 30 years. Please thank Chantal for her talent and hard work.

"Got my guitar strap today for Christmas. I knew I was getting it but I chose not to see it until this morning. I love it! Absolutely perfect. And to think that it came from way down under. I guess your Christmas is over by now but enjoy the rest of the season and thank-you ever so much.."
