Who doesn't know it, you want to buy a new bag and already have your favorites. But the difference is that they have two different straps. We have a few tips for you on what to pay attention to when purchasing a new favorite item.
An important aspect should be that you have a strap that doesn't bleed. As a general rule of thumb, the more durable the bag, the wider the strap should be.
1. Straps for Belt and Waist Bags
With belt and waist bags, the question is: When do I wear them? Most of the time, these practical helpers are used in situations where you need to act quickly. Therefore, we recommend that you pay attention to a buckle on the strap so you can quickly remove them in hectic situations. Additionally, waist bag straps should be detachable, as you might want to wear them on your belt.
2. Straps and Handles on Handbags
Every woman (or some men) knows the question: What kind of handles should my bag have? Short or long handles? A strap? Or both?
With us, you'll definitely be happy with any option. Short handles are great for large shopper bags. They allow quick access and can be safely tucked under your arm. However, it can become uncomfortable if you have a long shopping day and need to carry many beautiful things inside. If you want to pack a lot into your personal Bermuda Triangle and still maintain arm freedom, make sure your bag has a longer strap. This way, you can easily hang it over your shoulder or wear it crossbody. We also recommend paying attention to the width of the straps for both options. Thin straps can dig into your skin after prolonged use.
But if you can't decide, just choose a bag from our collection with both a short and a long handle. You can then vary depending on your mood and the situation. Some bags even allow you to detach the long strap with a carabiner when using the short handle.
3. Straps for Travel and Business Bags
Travel and business bags have one must: they must have a long strap! If you're on the go for a long time and usually carry a lot with you, you won't be able to hold the bag in your hand for long. There needs to be an option to relieve your body. That's why all our business and travel companions have long straps. It will make it easier for you when transporting souvenirs from your trip or carrying heavy work documents or library books. Especially with these bags, make sure the straps aren't too narrow, as it can become uncomfortable quickly. If you're unsure whether your strap is too thin or you prefer comfort, we have something for you. In our shop, you can purchase a faithful companion named Quentin. He will help you carry your bag, and you'll probably be thankful for him in many situations.
4. Backpacks and Straps
If you want something that frees up your hands while putting the load on your back, then check out our wide selection of backpacks. The straps are durable and designed to carry lots of contents back and forth. A special model is the Aria or the Booker, which you can carry both as a backpack and a bag if you can't decide. Otherwise, feel free to check out our online shop or one of our many stores for more options. Depending on your needs, you'll find your favorite. Again, make sure the straps aren't too narrow and should be adjustable in length to ensure a perfect fit for you.
We sincerely hope we could provide some tips and help you make a better decision on what is right for you!
Here’s a quick summary of the tips:
- The more durable the bag, the wider the strap should be.
