SFK Straps creator Sarah Frances Kuhn also happens to be the accessories editor at [Teen Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teen-line). She is no stranger to cool accessories, making her [camera straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-sling) the ultimate in street chic.

The story behind these fashion savvy straps is the age-old "necessity is the mother of invention" story. Kuhn could not find an easy and [fashionable way to carry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-luxury-leather-goods) around her camera. She played around and came up with these nylon, suede and metal straps and suddenly SFK Straps was born. Brings a tear to my accessories-loving eye.
