Absolutely LOVE this bag I saw on Instagram from the Fall 2016 show. It looks like a saddle bag with a turn lock and a shorter front flap. The flowers and the stripe make it that much more special. Not sure about the purpose of the chain coming from the turn lock though.

I need some help making a decision. I bought the Saddle 35 in fog and I love everything about it EXCEPT for the strap.

I'm a shoulder bag girl. I do have some satchels and carry them occasionally but shoulder carry is my preference. I only carry swingpacks or vintage canteen bags crossbody and I usually only use them on vacations or when flea-marketing and such. I would never carry the saddle crossbody.

I'm considering having the strap on the saddle bag shortened. I would have it cut and re-sewn in the middle. So here are my questions. Am I completely crazy for even considering desecrating this bag?And do you think this is something Coach would do for me {for a fee of course}?

HONEST opinions welcome. Thanks in advance!
