The Edge launches signature guitar strap to raise money for refugee women | Guitar World

guitarworld.com

The Edge x Love Welcomes Guitar Strap combines style and purpose, featuring unique designs made from upcycled materials that support refugee women. Musicians looking to express solidarity while enhancing their gear will appreciate its hand-stitched quality and meaningful backstory. However, at £75 (approx. $105), the price may be steep for some, limiting accessibility. While it champions a noble cause, the strap's high cost could deter casual players, making it more suited for dedicated fans or collectors. Overall, it’s a beautiful accessory that tells a powerful story, but potential buyers should weigh the cost against their budget.
