Attention Cambon reporter owners....does your bag always fall of your shoulder??

[kristie]

I just got my beautiful cambon mini reporter in black with white CC's and I love her. The only issue I have with it is that when it is on my shoulder, one of the straps ALWAYS falls off...so annoying. This hapens regardless of if I am wearing just a tee or a bulky sweater. I have narrow, small shoulders (I am 5-7, 118 lbs.) and I would think the straps would stay on great! Do the straps just "break in" over time or am I destined for a life of a lopsided bag??

The straps on my cambon bowler are always falling down and I also have very thin shoulders.

i too have narrow shoulders, i learned if the handbag have a wide body, then it's bound to have a strap toggle w/me....>"<

Oh no! It sounds like this isn't a "break in period" issue? Any others out there with this problem, help!

I was anticipating just that very problem, so that's why I did not buy the reporter... I'm 5'3" and not just Chanel bags, even just normal double handles on a bag fall off my shoulder sometimes. Chanel seems to do that to me even more than bags of other designers though ush: probably because of the way the straps are designed. I think Chanel bags look lovely though ...but for me I can probably only get a handheld one. That's most likely the only option that will work for me with Chanel

hrmz thats odd... i have the reporter bag and the straps fit on my shoulders fine.. or they fall off and im so use to it that its become a habit that i dont even notice..

I have the Cambon bag and reporter Multi-pocket and I don't seem to have any problems with it. However, the only problem i Have is that the black handles marked the white leather. SA told me that there is nothing that can be done due to the type of leather

I have the Cambon flap tote, and I don't have problems with the strap falling of my shoulder.

That's why Chanel makes double chain straps to accommodate for those who are petite and have narrow shoulders. I love chain straps!

I know exactly what you're talking about. What I do is I kind of intertwine (or rather, overlap?) the straps on my shoulder which gives it much better staying power. I hope you get what I mean, it works for me :shame:

I completely agree. For some reason, Chanel falls off my shoulder more than any other bag I own. I love Chanel enough to put up with it, but it is a bit annoying.
