I carry most of my bags crossbody. What you mentioned is what I also noticed. This is why I would prefer the bandoliere style, not those chaps. I am a bigger bag girl, so I put alot of stuff on my bags and I noticed the weight in the bag make the chaps lift up - also lift up the canvas at the side of the handles. Don‘t like this, but I think if you are careful, it still will be fine.Question to MC Speedy 25 owners: do you wear your bag crossbody? If yes, did you notice that the thread to hold the leather tab gets highly stretched from the pull of the crossbody strap? I noticed it when I looked into a mirror during shopping and now I’m concerned that it might damage the bag or even tear apart. I will have to wear the Speedy more on the short handles but I like crossbody and hands free much more. Would you be concerned or do you think it won’t damage the bag?
