Oman – between the desert and the ocean

Guitar straps inspired by Oman.

Arriving in Muscat, I was instantly struck by the scent of spices at the local market like cinnamon, cardamom, dried limes. A few hours later, while crossing the desert, I passed caravans of camels that would sometimes lazily block the road. In the mountain villages, time seemed to slow down. The call to prayer blended with the laughter of children playing in narrow alleyways. Along the ocean, waves crashed against rocky shores, while fishermen pulled fresh fish from their nets. Oman turned out to be a place where every day told a different story. From desert adventures to evenings with mint-scented tea.

This trip inspired a unique collection of guitar straps inspired by Oman, capturing the essence of its desert landscapes, vibrant markets, and coastal beauty. The warm, earthy tones of the sands and mountains influenced the color palettes, while the intricate patterns of local textiles and carpets shaped fabric designs and textures. During my trip, I purchased several pieces of traditional Omani fabrics and materials, which I later incorporated into my straps, giving each one a tangible connection to the culture and spirit of the country. These Oman-inspired straps combine exotic textures, rich colors, and durable craftsmanship, allowing musicians to carry a piece of the Sultanate’s beauty with them in every performance.
