Couch is a small California workshop that has been making guitar straps by hand since 1999. The company was founded by guitarist Daniel Perkins in Long Beach after he struggled to find a guitar strap he liked for his Telecaster; the name comes from the period he spent sleeping on a friend's couch to save up for his first sewing machine. The shop is staffed by a small team of guitar-playing designers and sewers who build each strap to order.
The brand is best known for straps made from tough automotive-grade and upholstery vinyl, with at least 25% of materials sourced from deadstock, found, or recycled stock. Signature lines include the Seat Belt strap, the Racing Stripe strap, the Vintage Luggage series (built from repurposed mid-century suitcases), and artist-series silk-screened straps. All products are vegan and cruelty-free. Beyond guitar straps, Couch also produces camera straps, wallets, belts, and bags using the same materials and construction methods.
Couch straps have been spotted on a range of players across rock, indie, and pop, including members of Silversun Pickups, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, and Billie Eilish. The company operates more as a craft workshop than a conventional gear manufacturer and does not run a formal artist endorsement program.
Couch has 19 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Straps & Strap Locks and Overdrive Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 24 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Billie Joe Armstrong, Brian May, and Bill Kelliher.
