Adding shoulder strap to Reed Krakoff Boxer Tote

[yingxuebailang]

I bought a beautiful colorblock boxer tote last year on sale. However, I didn't use it at all for a year because it doesn't have a shoulder strap. I even tried to sell it but I am so glad that nobody bought it.

I tried to order real leather shoulder strap from Mautto.com but was unable to find a color match. The leather strap from Mautto costs $40 to $60.

I was able to find a matching faux leather shoulder strap off a white Zara hobo. I bought the Zara bag for the shoulder strap only and currently it's on sale for only $19.99.

Here is the Zara bag I ordered



Here is the the boxer tote with newly added shoulder strap







Here is mod shot



It feels so light carrying on the shoulder rather by hand. I am sure I will be able to get use it more often. It's the perfect summer bag.

What a great idea! I think I will copy you! Have a great blue and white boxer that I hardly use since it doesn't have a shoulder strap option. Thank you for inspiring me!

You are welcome!! Be sure to get the Zara bag, still on sale for $19.99. It's a great match. Here's the link if you don't have a store nearby.

A perfect match! It doesn't look at all like a separate addition.

Wow! Looks like the strap was made for the bag!
