I have a favourite purse, a cheerful red purse with a small strap, made by Love & Lore. Apparently their bags are all vegan leather and this one is holding up remarkably well. Any vegan leather I’ve had previously would break down within a couple of years. This purse is much older.
Over time the handle has been pulling on the horizontal strap that it’s attached to which causes the bag’s closure magnets to release and the bag to gape open. Not exactly secure.
The bag has clips on each end that
a strap would be attached to but that disappeared a long time ago, so I decided
to make my own strap.
I used a brass chain that matched the colours of the loops and grommets, making it in a length comfortable for me.
I took it for a test ride today and
the chain worked beautifully. The bag stays closed nicely and looks great. I
was concerned that the chain might not be comfortable hanging from my shoulder
but so far all is good.
A simple solution for an annoying
problem.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.
