This is an interesting thread. I agree the Alma looks best handheld or in the crook of your arm (the most ladylike look) but I have
zero issues throwing a strap on for convenience! I think modern life is too hectic not to have a shoulder strap backup.
I regret being indecisive and not getting the matching Alma PM strap for mine before it was discontinued. Then I had to settle for a strap from another bag in the same Hot Pink vernis. Oh well, live and learn lol. I keep it tucked in my Alma at all times, in case of emergencies

@cinders56 I use various guitar straps (like the
Fendi one’s length) that I use for my Alma PM so you should be fine. BTW they discontinue straps the same as bags in epi/vernis colours - that’s probably why you can’t find your matching one. Here’s a recent one I found from
Amazon for my Alma to be crossbody. There are lots of fun options out there for us Alma fans
