p.1 #1 · Dual leather camera strap with Peak Design anchor
I've been on a hunt for a dual camera strap. Holdfast, RL Handcrafts and even cheap Amazon ones all uses d-rings and its own clasps to attach to the camera. I love Peak Design and their anchor links. I could have bought one of the ones I mentioned and hacked it to where I can add anchors but it probably wouldn't have been nice looking.
I ended up finding Clever Supply Co who makes leather camera straps and they are the first maker that I know of that offers a dual leather camera strap and integrates Peak Design anchors. Unfortunately at the time when I was looking, they didn't have any in stock. One they, I got an email stating that they were opening up preorders and this would be the last time they'll be taking orders for 2022. I jumped at the opportunity as I needed one for a business trip. It came a week early and just in time for some shoots.
It is a bit price at $289 and $309 with safety tethers. Holdfast is a little cheaper but they also have a lot more buckles. Clever Supply Co doesn't really have any except for 2 and there's less clanging around. I've used it for 3 days straight for 8-10 hours/day carrying a R5 and R6 with a combination of RF15-35 f2.8, RF24-70 f2.8, RF70-200 f2.8. I did have to borrow a RF28-70 f2.8 and the strap worked out well.

Are those snaps or rivets in the leather where the anchor mounts attached to the strap?
Rivets. Definitely no snaps. I would not buy something because those can easily come undone. I know there are ones that look like rivets but they screw on allowing you to easily swap or switch (I think they are called Chicago screws?). But there's no way of removing or repairing without damaging the leather on the Clever Supply Co straps.
