anyone w/ detachable straps on their bags?

[Bagluvvahh]

do you actually use it or it just stays on your bag even if your using it hand held?

My Balenciaga bags have a shoulder strap that is removable. I always leave it attached, but carry the bag by the handles instead.

I always take the straps off unless I plan to use them.

Keep them on. I think it's better for my back, especially for larger bags. Carring large bags with my arm is tiring.

I leave it on. I usually alternate depending on how tired my shoulders are or if I need to be handsfree. I LOVE detachable straps.

I keep them on my balenciaga. i like how it looks with it.

I keep mine on... just in case I want to switch back and forth between hand and shoulder...

I keep mine on because I usually alternate.

I leave them on in case I need my hands free.

I actually BOUGHT a number of detachable straps on eBay, for those bags that don't have one but can be transformed by one. Although I don't use such straps all the time, I just like the option, if I'm travelling, shopping etc.

Heather123, do you have the ebay link to the detachable straps? Are they leather?

I leave it on, you never know when you need it!

My AC Mini City has a strap but I leave it on because I end up using it on my shoulder ore than I realized I would.

I leave on so I can use as needed.

I have a Givenchy Nightingale and always leave the strap on - sometimes I hand carry, other times the strap comes in very convenient!
