I have just received my Sophie on Friday and i absolutely adore this little bag!~ but there is a little problem~ the shoulder strap is way too long for me!~ does anybody else have this problem? i'm kinda small at 160cm~ and when i attach the bag to the strap it hangs below my bum! and it looks really bad!! :crybaby:
i don't want to not use the strap as i love wearing bags across my body (i do that with pochettes also)~ and the Sophie is meant to be worn across the body with the gold chain hanging right?
As my Sophie is a damier~ i just cannot use the untreated cowhide strap from my other pochette~ it will look so weird!
so my conclusion is~ i will have to get the strap shortened~ they would be able to do it at the boutique right? and would you ladies know how much they would charge if they can do it?

I have posted a few days ago about the same problem. After having to deal with a couple of incompetent SAs, as I visited a different boutique and not the one I frequent. I made a trip to another and found a short adjustable strap. It is $185, pretty steep, but worth it as I use it on my damier sophie and pochette.

Yes, unfortunately.... I initially made a knot on the strap it came with to make it shorter. It fit perfectly; however, it looked pretty tacky! I could not justify spending another $200 for a strap! But then again, I love the damier sophie sooo much that I couldn't bear keeping her tucked away, so I gave in...:shame:

oh no :Push: i can totally understand loving the sophie (staring at it lovingly right now) ~ but like you said~ i cannot justify spending another $230, in my case, on another strap! i've already paid more than retail and pricey postage to have it shipped to australia! wats a girl to do!!! :crybaby:

Unfortunately LV will not make custom repairs. :tdown:

I think your best bet would be getting a new strap.

Is there a way to maybe double it up somehow? I have the same problem with a lot of items, I hate being short sometimes!

i dunno :confused1: i was thinking of maybe looping it thru the hole where the end of the zip is and then i figured i won't be able to zip up the bag~ so i'm still thinking....

and sea0fyears just mentioned LV dun do any custom repairs so thats not helping either :Push:

i guess i'll still try my luck at the boutique~ if that doesn't work then i'll just have to go to a leather repairer to get it shortened~ :crybaby:

P.S. i hate being short too!! and small for that matter~ everything just seems long for me!
