Last month was my best month for gordy straps and that was without the 135 strap order from my Hong Kong reseller, Victor, 2 weeks ago. For the last two weeks my faithful helper Kim and I have been strapping like crazy. I shipped the last of the Hong Kong straps yesterday. Victor will be promoting the cult of gordy brand in Hong Kong. It wil be interesting to see how successful he is. I wish him a lot of success! Sales have slowed down a little so I hope to catch up with other stuff before the sales pick up again. Victor sent me a couple of scans of a Japanese mook he found with a picture of a gordy strap in it.

Mooks are a combination book and magazine popular in Japan. This one is about the popular Micro Four Thirds cameras and their accessories. (My Panasonic G1 is a Micro Four thirds camera).

This is the page that mentions gordy straps. My friend Ken Smith, or more likely his wife Yuko, translated the caption: "03. "It's a simple leather strap that was cut slim nicely, but it has been tested to hold the weight of the camera. It can also bear the weight of larger cameras. The strap is much tougher than it looks."

It appears gordy straps is well on its way to world domination!
