Drop the skepticism, this isn’t an April Fools’ gag. FALCO Holsters just pulled the curtain back on its new CarryArt series, and leading the charge are two designs that look more like a tropical cocktail menu than your typical EDC setup. Meet the CX14 Pineapple and CX15 Strawberry holsters…yes, seriously, a c.
Launched April 1, the timing might raise eyebrows, but the intent is clear: shake up a category that’s been drenched in black Kydex and brown leather for decades.
Pineapple & Strawberry Holsters — Leather Done Differently
FALCO isn’t abandoning its roots—it’s stretching them. The CarryArt concept takes the company’s well-established leatherwork and turns it into something closer to functional art. Each holster is handcrafted from full-grain Italian leather and molded for a precise, firearm-specific fit. So while the outside may scream personality, the performance stays all business.

Retention, durability, and a clean draw stroke remain front and center. This isn’t novelty gear—it just refuses to look like everything else on your belt.
Pineapple Texture or Strawberry Style
The CX14 Pineapple leans into bold texture, mimicking the distinctive pattern of its namesake fruit. The CX15 Strawberry, on the other hand, features a layered design with seed-like cutouts that give it a surprisingly sharp aesthetic. Both models keep a compact OWB footprint, making them practical for everyday carry despite their loud looks.

Underneath the flair, the specs check all the right boxes. You’re getting 7–8 oz full-grain leather, compatibility with thousands of handgun models, an open-top design for fast access, and an open-bottom cut that accommodates threaded barrels. Reinforced construction ensures the holster holds its shape for smooth reholstering, while a leather belt tunnel keeps things anchored where they belong.
More Than a Conversation Starter
According to CEO Robert Kováč, early reactions, especially at industry events like SHOT Show, have been overwhelmingly positive. And it’s not hard to see why. In a market where most gear blends in, these holsters do the exact opposite.

Bottom Line
The CarryArt series isn’t about reinventing the holster, it’s about reimagining it. With the CX14 Pineapple and CX15 Strawberry, FALCO proves you don’t have to sacrifice performance to stand out.
Whether you’re looking to break from the pack or just want a holster that sparks conversation at the range, this lineup delivers something rare: personality with purpose.
