Italia Range

It is no secret that leather originating from Italy has been highly prized for decades because of its visual appeal, elegance and luxury reputation. Until now, this has mostly gone against the Uber Doofer principle of basing our products on being sound, structural and robust – because we believe that we make “keepers”. We actively avoided anything that was not UK sourced and our fundamental principles in leather buying have been running since day one.

So, we got to thinking, why shouldn’t we stretch our reach to include the luxurious, elegant and visually innovative? After all, leather is leather isn’t it?

Actually no, because there are so many different variations on a theme and not every material that we look at is ACTUALLY suitable. Fortunately, we have vast leather experience in John who is more than 45 years in the leather industry. He is able to combine the principles of ruggedness in use and performance with the artistic flair of the Italian finishing plants. There may be finishes out there, that other companies would not attempt to make, because they can’t sell 10,000 units of the stuff. Uber Doofer is a small and flexible producer on purpose, because we’re not interested in any orders for 10,000 units. We don’t make “units”, we make premium leather guitar straps, because we understand what players need. You’ll instantly pick up the striking characteristics of the Italia Range, because we’ve selected particular leathers that can support your guitar as an extension of your persona, not just support it against the force of gravity! We have made selections of beautiful top leathers that certainly look special, but will not grandstand and steal the limelight from your instrument. They are still “the supporting act”! This is a major development for us. Here is our first step into “special edition” territory and we hope you like them!
